On October 12 in Toledo, Spain, Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa will receive the individual International Award of Don Quixote de la Mancha, which recognizes contributions to the Spanish language. Vargas Llosa previously won the Cervantes Award in 1994, considered the most noteworthy Spanish-language literature prize, and has long been considered a contender for a Nobel Prize.
President Arroyo of the Philippines will also be awarded the Don Quixote institutional prize for her efforts to reintroduce the Spanish language to her country's public school curricula.
