Cervantes idealist (7)

I believe the answer is:

quixote

(Other definitions for quixote that I've seen before include "Cervantes great creation Don . . . . . . ., man of La Mancha" , "Cervantes' hero" , "Foolish gentleman" , "12's Don" , "Idealistic and unrealistic Don" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
