The Princes of Asturias arrived this morning at Menorca, shortly after the 12:00 p.m., with more than half an hour of delay, and they went to the Insular Hall in Mahón, where they were waited with enthusiasm by more than five hundred people.

The Princes initiated their acts at 9:00 a.m., at the General Base Asensio de Palma, to hear about the situation of the Armed Forces in the islands. This act was attended only by Don Felipe, although it was already predicted that Doña Letizia would not attend it. Shortly after the 12:00 p.m., they arrived at the Insular Hall of Menorca, where they were received by its president, Joana Barceló, and greeted by the seven mayors of all the municipalities of the island. Don Felipe and Doña Letizia were very kind with all the citizens who were waiting for them, especially with the children. The president presented them with a statue made by the artist Matías Quetglas.

A brief summary of this article:



The Prince of Asturias transmitted today the 'support and encouragement of the Crown' to the inhabitants of Menorca, in achieving a greater progress and well being. With these words, Don Felipe, along with Doña Letizia, started his visit to Menorca; an island of 'noble people, interested in preserving its identity, and that constitutes an exceptional example of historical fidelity to its own secular memory and its traditions'.

Hundreds of people applauded on the street the arrival of the Princes at the Hall of Menorca. The Prince praised the dedication of the Menorquins to preserve and protect the delicate balance of an island for which his grandfather (Don Juan) and his father (the King) always felt a special affection that they have transmitted to him, remembered the Prince in Catalan.
