  We present the current status of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) CMB
Experiment, a new instrument which will start operations early 2009 at Teide
Observatory, with the aim of characterizing the polarization of the CMB and
other processes of galactic and extragalactic emission in the frequency range
10-30 GHz and at large angular scales. QUIJOTE will be a valuable complement at
low frequencies for the PLANCK mission, and will have the required sensitivity
to detect a primordial gravitational-wave component if the tensor-to-scalar
ratio is larger than r=0.05.
