Guanajuato - Plaza San Roque

To the south-west ofthe Diego Rivera Museum in the Plaza San Roque will be found the Baroque church of the same name. This square forms a picturesque setting for performances - given annually by the University, primarily during the Cervantes Festival in October - of the "Entremeses Cervantinos" ("Cervantine Interludes"), one-act plays by the great Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616), famous Spanish author of "Don Quixote". At the end of 1987 the Spanish prime minister Felipe González opened the Don Quijote Museum.
