By Estelle Shirbon

MADRID (Reuters) - Hundreds of Spaniards declared their love for 'Don Quixote' on the 400th anniversary of Miguel de Cervantes' masterpiece with a non-stop relay reading of the book that ended on Sunday.

Readers of all ages took more than 48 hours to work their way through more than 1,000 pages of Cervantes' action-packed novel, which made national icons of the knight who charged at windmills and his faithful sidekick Sancho Panza.
