Another day, another strange statue in BA..

This post is from one of our favorite blogs in BA: casa saltshaker 

At the corner of Av. de Mayo is this odd looking statue of Don Quijote - sort of riding out of a cloud or a rock or a something, clearly in battle - I suppose it’s meant to be one of his fantasy battles and the whole cloud thing is to give it a dream-like quality. Who knows? The statue was a gift from Queen Sofia of Spain when it was installed in 1980, commemorating 400 years since the founding of Buenos Aires.
