The search for Miguel de Cervantes' remains is underway. Initial investigations have begun at a church in Madrid, where Cervantes is believed to have been buried in 1616. Journalists gathered to witness the use of georadar technology, which will help locate bones in the church's crypts. Cervantes, known for 'El Quijote', was buried at the Trinitarias church, but his remains were lost during a 17th-century expansion. The georadar report is expected in a month, after which excavations will start. If successful, results are anticipated by year-end.
