Spanish Royal Family Visits Areas in Valencia Affected by DANA

King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía at El Palmar restaurant

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia visited Valencia last Sunday. On this occasion, the King and Queen were accompanied by Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, with whom they visited Catarroja, Picanya, and Alaquàs—three of the areas most affected by the DANA storm that occurred on October 29. During their visit, the family also dined at El Palmar restaurant, a symbol of Valencian gastronomy.

  2. Love Letizia’s sweater, would love that as a hand me down when she’s ready ;-)… and love the way this family put on their hiking boots and casual clothes. Wishing them and you a happy Christmas.

  3. Es freut mich sehr, Infantin Sofia im Vordergrund zu sehen, sie ist immer zurückhaltend und angepasst, an sich auch ein großes Talent aber die beiden Schwestern wirken immer harmonisch.
    Die Pullis sind hübsch, der König auch : ) aber es geht hier auch um die schrecklichen Ereignisse des Sturmes. Gut das die Königsfamilie sich so nahbar zeigt. -Dorothe-
