SANCHO´S ADVENTURES
Cervantes took a break while writing the second part
of Don Quixote, we know it now because he makes references to both
events happened in 1605 when he wrote some chapters later placed in the
second part, and events that happened in 1609-1610 as the morisque people
being expelled. Because of that break in his writing, he made some coherence
mistakes when putting it all together, so in chapter 30 we find Don Quixote
and Sancho geographically
placed in both Castilla

M. 1982. “Sancho panza through three hundred seventy-five years of
continuations, imitations, and criticism, 1605-
Sancho´s
adventure as a
governor is almost considered as an independent novel placed
inside Don Quixote´s. Even after being tricked by the Dukes, Sancho shows
himself as a bold and honest governor to everyone´s surprise, redefining
himself into a hero since he is not willing to take profit from his position
as supposedly governor.
