Carlos Alvar Ezquerra, professor of Romance Philology at the universities of Alcalá de Henares and Geneva,  recommended reading Don Quixote, rather than seeing the films based in the book, since "in general, neither film directors nor scriptwriters have read the book; they have not respected its order and they have always taken the same adventures out of the more than 50 included in the book". The professor delivered the lecture "Tradición e innovación: El Quijote en el cine" in an event organised by the Germà Colón Foundation at the Universitat Jaume I on the occasion of the fourth centenary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes.
