Juan and Pablo Nicolas The little children received their first skiing class two weeks ago, when they travelled to the famous resort with their parents to spent the Christmas holidays. 01/17/2004.

Spain's Crown Prince Felipe and his fiancée Letizia Ortiz have been turning heads on the slopes, enjoying a weekend of high-speed fun at the luxury ski resort of Baqueira/Beret.
Members of the Spanish royal family are regular visitors to the mountains of Catalonia, and King Juan Carlos has been coming here for decades. So there was little chance of the country's favourite couple going unnoticed and, sure enough, they were met by a crowd of well-wishers as they headed out for a day on the piste.
Felipe and Letizia have become something of a national obsession since they stunned the country by announcing their engagement last November. Just a few days ago likenesses of the couple were unveiled at the national wax museum in Madrid. And a new Prince of Asturias cake – which will be served at their wedding reception – is expected to become a staple on Spanish menus.
The country's growing excitement will reach its climax on May 22, when the happy couple make their vows in Madrid's Almudena Cathedral. Their wedding will come just a few days after Denmark's Prince Frederik and Mary Donaldson say "I do" in Copenhagen.

Urdangarín takes advantage of his stay in the valley to practise the skiing, which he practises on Baqueira Beret's station, sport that the Infanta cannot practise because she is pregnant of her fourth child.

Right! Sorry for the mistake, I meant "child". I wrote that too fast so I didn't realize.
We still don't know if the baby is gonna be a "son" or a "daughter" , sorry again.
And the woman in blue isn't a nunny, she is Cristina de Borbón Dos Cicilias, daughter of Ana of France and Carlos de Borbón de las Dos Sicilias, who is one of the King's cousins.
Cristina is one of the best friends of the Infanta, and she was the one who travelled with Cristina and Iñaki to Mexico a few weeks ago.
Here some pics of her::)

Fin de semana de esquí en Baqueira
5 FEBRERO 2005
Todo estaba listo en Baqueira Beret para recibir la visita tan esperada de los Príncipes de Asturias. Si bien esta nueva cita con la nieve estaba planeada, en un principio, para la semana pasada, con motivo de la celebración del treinta y siete cumpleaños de don Felipe, tuvo que ser pospuesta a este fin de semana debido a las adversas condiciones climatológicas.
El Heredero de la Corona y doña Letizia llegaron anoche a la residencia que los Reyes tienen en la localidad leridana para poder disfrutar de unos días de descanso, practicando uno de los deportes favoritos de la Familia Real. Muchos eran los medios de comunicación que les esperaban llegar a las pistas donde, en todo momento, se han mostrado sonrientes y amables con todos los allí presentes. La Princesa de Asturias vistió un traje de esquí blanco, gorro y grandes gafas. Por su parte, Felipe de Borbón optó por los tonos grises. Ésta es la segunda ocasión que podemos ver a la pareja en Baqueira. La primera fue en febrero del año pasado, tras el anuncio de su compromiso.
El duque de Palma, Iñaki Urdangarín, en compañía de sus tres hijos, Juan Valentín, Pablo Nicolás y Miguel, también ha querido estar con los Príncipes este fin de semana esquiando. La Infanta Cristina prefirió no subir hasta la pistas debido a su embarazo.
No es de extrañar que don Felipe y doña Letizia quieran disfrutar de un pequeño descanso dentro de su apretada agenda de compromisos oficiales, ya que esta semana se les ha podido ver, en una cena de gala en el Palacio Real que los Reyes ofrecieron con motivo de la visita oficial del Presidente de la República de Hungría, Ferenc Mádl, y su esposa Dalma Mádl, a nuestro país, así como en el metro de Madrid visitando la línea 1, la misma que el rey Alfonso XIII, bisabuelo del Príncipe, inauguró en 1919.
, sorry again.
