The first edition of Quijote Inmortal has toured towns such as Fuencaliente and Malag贸n, transforming the reading of the Cervantine classic into a community experience. Residents of all ages gathered to share paragraphs, demonstrating that Cervantes' work remains a social meeting point in the province of Ciudad Real.
The digital logistics behind the literary marathon 馃摫
To coordinate hundreds of readers across multiple municipalities, the organization implemented a shift system via a mobile application with geolocation. Each participant received a notification with the assigned fragment and a QR code to validate their reading in real time. The platform synchronized progress on a shared cloud, avoiding overlaps and allowing the narration to flow without technical interruptions.
Readers, windmills, and connection problems 鈿旓笍
Everything was going well until a reader in Fuencaliente mistook a router for a giant and, in his Quixotic enthusiasm, tried to knock it down with sword blows. The Wi-Fi signal went down for ten minutes, forcing the organization to distribute paper fragments. In the end, even Sancho Panza would have preferred 4G over dealing with a battered router.
