Dulcinea is Don Quijote's ideal of a pefect woman, an image he projects onto Aldonza, a common serving maid. She appears in both the novel and the musical Man of la Mancha. Sophia Loren portrayed her in the movie of the musical.

Pronounced dul-cin-AY-ah.

This can be pronounced "dool-thee-NAY-ah" in Castillian Spanish or "dool-see-NAY-ah" in Latin American Spanish. But I've also heard "dol-see-NAY-ah" in the musical "The Man of La Mancha".
