Submitted by Smiling Sam. In the centre of the Plaza de España of Madrid is one of the most important monuments of Miguel de Cervantes of the City. The monument to Cervantes, who died on the 23rd of April 1616, was commissioned by King Alfonso XIII in 1915, on the 300th anniversary of the publication of the second part of Don Quixote. The main body of the fountain was erected in the 1920’s, but the full monument was not completed until the 1960’s, when the sculptures of Aldonza and Dulcinea were added on the side. This impressive monument stands behind a rectangular pool.

My last picture for a while. This picture depicts Da Vinci's last supper.
a) Where was the picture taken
b) How was the last supper in the picture captured?
Wieliczka Salt Mine in Wieliczka Poland Southwest of Krakow
Carved in Salt.
I believe we had the option of doing this or going to Auschwitz when we did the Tauck Imperial Europe trip. We did the Auschwitz instead.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Depth 135 meters below the ground.
For me, both Auschwitz and the Salt Mine were included in our Berlin, Danube, and Krakow river cruise. The farewell dinner (see picture below) was in the Salt Mine, also at 135m below the surface. We walked down approximately 800 steps, but took elevators back to the surface.
Your dinner looks fancier than ours - chandeliers and white tablecloths vs a buffet on picnic tables. Ours too was in a mine outside Salzburg, but we got to ride wooden slides and a train!
We were in this mine near Salzberg when on the Ultimate Alps and Dolomites tour but I seem to remember they had a strict no camera/cell phone policy so I have no pictures.
That is what tour we were on. I think we were told no flash, which I understand, but it was so dark, the only photo I could get was the blurred one of the band using a long exposure time. The other two photos were taken by auto-cameras installed in the mine- I either downloaded the images from the web or took a photo of a print we were given.
