Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Having travelled for a few days Quixote (not pictured) came to the cavern of Montesinos, the mouth, pictured in the middle of the image is wide and spacious, but overgrown with briars, wild fig-trees, and thorns, so thick and intricate that they conceal it. Of the trees the dead fig tree that hangs over the cave from the left is notable.
