It isn't confirmed but Cristina is thinking in buying a house in sencelles, in mayorca.

That's strange... They already have their own house within the complex of Marivent...
Where did you read that information?

i didn't read. It was a spanish friend that told me that. She lives in the town where they "suppose" to buy a house. My friend that it is a conversation very spoken there.

It can be, but it seems to me to be very strange. They have just bought a new house in Barcelona. And as Elsa says inside Marivent's enclosure they have his their own house, not a lot of time ago they constructed two small little houses for the Infantas and thair families ... for what there would be enough seen evil that after the Government inhabitant of the Balearic Islands was worrying for giving them a residence they do not use.

This type of rumors are habitual, a few times are true and others not. How they are the Dukes of Palma, it will happen as it happens with the Princes and this house in Asturias.

I don't know how mnay people have ever been to Mallorca and passed through the area of Marivent, but there is just no way (as far as I know) that you can see the palace!
I was staying outside Palma last summer and ended up in a hotel facing the palace but all you could see were HUGE walls. From the balcony you could see into the front where the entrance gate was and a small part of the grounds. Then from the beach you could see the palace in the distance right on the edge of the 'cliff'. Also there was an area of the sea that stretched towards it that was sectioned off to make sure that nobody could get near. So as you can gather...it is extremely private! No wonder the Royal family love it there :)

Does anybody have anymore details?

Yes, Sofia, Marivent is a very private enclosure and that huge wall is one of the most impressive things about it... Inside Marivent, the royal family has its privacy guaranted.

Marivent: 30 years as official Summer residence

It was in the afternoon of August 4th 1976, when the King and Queen (along with their children) arrived in Marivent and the royal banner was hanged for the first time in the palace. From that moment on, Marivent would become the official Summer residence of the Spanish Royal Family.
Today it's celebrated its 30th anniversary.

Elsa, thanks for the article. Wow.. 30 years with the same tradition is really wonderful. I hope the Royal Family also realised the anniversary & do something to celebrate it.. (perhaps a photo session?) :ermm: :smile:

How long do they does the Royal Family reside at Marivent ?

Its looks quite beautiful .

When the Royal Family is in Mallorca they always stay at Marivent Palace.
Usually the Family spend in Mallorca their summer Holidays (August) and also the spend some days at easter ( March-April)

I was wondering, what is the history of Marivent? Has it always been property of the family or did it belong to somebody else before the king decided to spend the summer there?

Marivent's Palace is property of the Government of the Balearic Islands.

Is the Kings palace & Prince of Asturias House close to one another or are they in different areas?
