Hey guys
I have a question for you. (Sorry if this has been discussed before). But when the family are on their summer holidays, you see them out and about in Palma, doing regular activities such as shopping etc. What i want to know is if you ever see them out in Madrid doing the same? I mean they can't possibly spend all of their time at home, can they?
Thanks in advance

Sofia ..., it is true that the Royal Family in Palma goes out more, they go out at some time of buys, or to visit a museum or to have dinner, but I believe that they do it to places that more or less the safety services already have controlled after many years.
In Madrid, it is more difficult. It is a very big city, is very strange to see the Reyes or the Princes of buys (equal one or two times a year). And if it is known that for example the Princes go out occasionally to the cinema or to having dinner.
But I believe that they are things more exceptional than habitual. Also they occur to coming to houses or friends' estates.
The certain thing, it is that unfortunately, the Spanish Royal Family, especially the Kings or the Princes do not have a lot of freedom of movements. All their movements are followed by a safety service, and in each of their exits they are accompanied of their escorts, though one does not see them.
With E.T.A.'s problem they do not still have another remedy that to live like that. Also many politicians live like that, judges, businessmen, some teachers, journalists ... etc... The persons who occupy important positions in Spain know that they must live with it.
Because of it the Letizia's first speech was for my very important, because exactly it was for the persons who go 25 years fighting in order that has not more died, they are the persons who protect the life of the citizens but also the life of the one that now is her family.
I feel it for the speech, but sometimes it is necessary to understand the situations through that a concrete country lives, to be able to explain like Royal Families or politicians live.
