A day full of books

April 23 is a key date for world literature, since it was on that day back in 1616 that three of its most distinguished figures passed away: Miguel de Cervantes, the greatest writer in Spanish language, William Shakespeare, the most outstanding writer in English language and the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, the first universal writer from the American continent. It is undoubtedly a historical coincidence full of symbolism.
As the ambassador of Spain I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the figures of Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso, and with them, to the language that both contributed to magnify and that is spoken today by more than 500 million people around the world.
