VALDEPEÑAS
This town is different... charming... Here is the Royal Street.
VENANCIO BLANCO
He is present in this city.
At the Canal we can see his huge Don Quixote. Today I prefer to show you one of the latest enlargements in wood that he made for that monument. It is in the entrance hall of the Hotel Veracruz.
Besides, my surprise was great when I saw that his 'Belmonte' appeared in one of the posters of the event on the façade of the Círculo La Confianza (showroom)
