"14 January 2004. Infanta Cristina went back to her work at the Fundacion La Caixa of Barcelona, after receiving the visit of Letizia Ortiz, the fiancee of her brother Felipe".


I would just like to ask if what is the position of Infanta Cristina at the Fundacion La Caixa of Barcelona?

I think the Fundacion La Caixa is a cultural organization and Cristina organizes exhibits and co-ordinates programs or something to that effect. But my memory of reading this information is very vague. Maybe someone can shed further light on this.

In the meantime, I found these links on it, but in Spanish ...

The Fundacio la Caixa is located in one of the most significant buildings of the city, which was formerly the Gran Hotel. The Fundacio la Caixa took over this modernist building in 1993 and has turned it into an architectural beauty and furthermore with a first class programme of cultural and art events.


Fundacion La Caixa
Plaza Weyler, 3
Palma de Mallorca, Baleares 07001

Is this far from Barcelona?

I think she is banker, she works in La Caixa, a Spanish Bank. But I don't know what is her paper inside La Caixa? I read something about foreign affairs, but I am not sure.

She works as a public worker in a spanish bank (La Caixa) in the humanitarian part of that bank. Is like earning money to help the poor people in far countries.

Default Cristina in Mozambique
Infanta Cristina is in Mozambique. She will be there until next Friday, but this one is not an official visit. This travel is related to her work as person in charge of the cooperation area and development of the Fundación la Caixa.
Here the first and only pic that I've found:

She looks strange! Doesn't she? Of course beautiful , but strange.

Yeah, you're right: she's dressing according to the ocassion, but she has travelled there before and she has never wore clothes like these, so...

Yes, me too.
I don't think there's anything wrong with her looks. She's perhaps a bit less princessly dressed, but she's not there as the Infanta of Spain, just as a field-worker of a welfare organization. :)

It's her all right. She looks so remarkably different and older when than the glamourous princess in recent pictures.

Totally agree, isabella! I think it's the scarf and the head scarf she is wearing. I guess we're just not used to seeing her with them! But she is beautiful.

Thank you, Isabella!
Pity that we can't see those photos... perhaps we'll manage to see them around the Web, and then someone put it here :p
