He plans to send the final tweet on April 22, the anniversary of the death of Don Quixote author Miguel de Cervantes, from Alcazar de San Juan, believed to be the birthplace of the author, AFP reports.
The account, which posts 28 fragments of the novel every day, has 8,600 followers which include Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.

Set in La Mancha region, Don Quixote narrates the endearing tale of a mad knight errant and his sidekick Sancho Panza.
