Rafael Sanchez Ferlosio has received the Cervantes Prize 2004 from the hands of the King, at the University of Alcala de Henares (Madrid). The author, who does not consider himself a "literate, but a commentator", is considered the best Cervantin specialist of all the XX century, for his great lexical richness, his precision and meticulousness, in addition to an implacable intellectual.

Don Juan Carlos has defined today the "great author" Rafael Sanchez Ferlosio, as a "master of the word and an alchemist of the language" with his outstanding "writing of classic purity and perfection". Don Juan Carlos stated that Sanchez Ferlosio "has cultivated the linguistic investigation and the experimentation of new narrative resources".
