I'm from the Canary Islands too. Where do you live nayralorenzo?
I'm from Tenerife, and in the north of the island, where I live, there weren't too many accidents, but I watched on TV a lot of horrible images from other parts of the island.
I'm happy to know that the King moved Adán Martín his solidarity with Canary Islands, he seems to love our islands!

Well, I didn’t know the King had 2 motorbikes…

Anyway, the same article says that, as it happens with many other citizens, the request for payment will be sent to a second address (in this case, to the Palace of La Zarzuela), with a surcharge of 5 to 20%, as well as with the respective delay expenses...

[fanletizia]

The King pays to the City council of Palm the 15.68 euros who had.
To the 15.68 mentioned euros is necessary to add the mandatory surcharge

Sources of the City council of Palma de Mallorca confirmed that "people authorized" in the morning settled the debt of 15.68 euros that His Majesty the King had contracted with the Consistorio of the Balearic capital.
