Alonso becomes the Knight "don Quixote" and starts spinning for Spain. In his madness, Don Quixote carries a local farmer Sancho Panza, which promises the Government of an island provided the face like a Squire.
Like all knights errant, Don Quixote feels the need to devote to a lady his exploits. Will chose Aldonza Lorenzo, a beautiful peasant girl, her neighbor, which he transformed into a noble Lady and renamed Dulcinea Toboso.

Will fight these imaginary enemies resulting always soundly defeated, and arousing the laughter of the people who attend his foolish actions.
