Image of Alcalá de Ebro, not of the place itself.

Tradition identifies Alcalá de Ebro with the island of Barataria that Cervantes had Sancho Panza govern in the second part of Don Quixote, published in 1615. The floods of the Ebro isolated the place and gave it for weeks the appearance of an island.

1615
