Lula, what would we do without you and your knowledge of simply everything?:)
And Covadonga monastery is a really nice place, it looks as it was taken from a fairy-tale:)

I ofcourse did not think they would bring Leonor to the act (not the singing contest and deffently not the meeting )
But are the Basilica not in the same city as the hotel, is there no chance they would make a seperate visit to the Basilica with Leonor when they are in town so to speak. The Basilica is beautiful, thanks for the pics

They are not in the same city, the Hotel is in Oviedo, and the Basilica of Covadonga to 1 hour of distance in car approximately. The Basilica is more near the house of the grandmother of Letizia in Sardeu.
The bishop has said that he does not have information.
Perhaps they wait and they take Leonor to Covadonga after going to Atocha.

They have never taken Leonor to an act, and not if they will take her to this trip. For if there is confusion I am going to clarify a thing. The chapel or lounge Covadonga of the Hotel of the Reconquest, it is not Covadonga's Basilica, they are two different things. The Hotel was a former hospice for children and had a chapel today turned into lounge , and which have been called Covadonga.

What was the event?? I'm lost Does it has something to do with the Eurovision songfestival

Hello, Princess Robjin! It's confusing, when you're not able to read the articles in its original language, isn't it? Well, let me try to explain.

Eurovision is simply the association of all the public broadcasters in Europe. The event Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia are to attent next April 19th, in Oviedo, is the inauguration of XII Congress of this Association (Eurovision).

It has nothing to do with the famous song contest.

That's a beautiful basilica. It looks like the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland. Can you get married there? Perhaps they should've chosen this instead of the Almudena in Madrid.

Unfortunately, the Prince was forced to marry in Madrid, and almost obliged to marry in the Almudena because it was the new cathedral of the city and somehow they had reserved it for him. But I believe that many Spanish agree in that the Almudena is the ugliest cathedral of Spain; there are hundreds of cathedrals and churches much nicer .:(
The people can marry in Covadonga, in Asturias is a very traditional place to marry; for the meaning of the Virgin and because and it is a wonderful place surrounded with nature and mountains.

The assembly of Eurovisión, first act of the Princes in Oviedo after being parents

Acording to the agenda in www.casareal.es, Prince Felipe will preside the inauguration of the assembly, so I deduce that Princess Letizia will not be there:(

It seems that they have got confused on having placed the news, and they have put the presidency of the Prince but they have not put the presence of the Princess. If you search in "activities" and searches the acts of the Princess the act appears.

Besides in the web of the Foundation they continue announcing the presence of both.

http://www.fundacionprincipedeasturi...oticia508.html

T.R.H. the Prince and Princess of Asturias are to chair the inauguration ceremony of the XII Assembly of the European Broadcasting Union, Eurovision, which will be held on the 19th, 20th and 21st April in Oviedo, coinciding with UNESCO-backed events to celebrate the XXV Anniversary of the Prince of Asturias Awards. The ceremony will be held on Wednesday, 19th April, starting at 8.00 p.m. in the Chapel of the Hotel de la Reconquista.
