Spain hunts for writer’s remains

Spanish historians are working to locate the remains of Spain’s greatest literary figure, Miguel de Cervantes.

The author, whose most famous book Don Quixote created a new fiction genre, worked over the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

He is believed to be buried inside a central Madrid convent although the exact location of his remains is not known.
