Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, also known as El Campeador ("the Champion"), was a notable military leader and the national hero of Spain. His title of "the Cid" comes from a Spanish dialect of Arabic, sidi, meaning "sir" or "lord," and was a title he acquired during his lifetime.

"Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music.
The world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls, and interesting people.
Forget yourself."
~ Henry Miller
