Vandalia

Vandalia is the name of some places in the United States of America: It was also a poetic name for Andalusia since it was ruled by the Vandals. In Don Quixote, the bachelor Sansn Carrasco disguises himself as an errant knight paying courtly love to the imaginary Casildea of Vandalia, playing with the contrast between chivalric fantasy and reality.
