The princes of Asturias return to Palma with the rest of the Royal Family

MADRID (EUROPE PRESS)

The princes of Asturias returned on Friday to Palma to conclude their vacations with the rest of the Royal Family, after happening a few days in Sardéu together with Menchu Álvarez del Valle, grandmother of dona Letizia Ortiz.
The couple came to Porto Pi in their car and they embarked in the 'Fortuna'', to which later several workmen raised an aquatic motorcycle, probably in order that don Felipe de Borbón was enjoying the sport in high seas.
Already on Saturday, the Princes took advantage of their return to Palm to sail with Majesties the Kings, don Juan Carlos and dona Sofía and with the infanta Elena and her children. The small Froilán, always very enterteining, ran for the cover of the ship. Besides, dona Pilar de Borbón, who also is in the island of Majorca, came with some of her children, between them Fernando.

Just an observation since I am not from Spain. Doesn't the trip to Mallorca take a couple of hours by plane? and then from Barajas to Asturias by car? Can someone tell me the distance between these places, either by miles or hours? Also the driving time and flying time from Madrid to Barcelona.

I was just thinking that for a couple that wanted to be away from the public eye, they seemed to travel a lot by plane, car or what ever other means and there hasn't been any uncomfortableness by the princess, as long it was not interfering with their escape plans.

I guess i am lost on this one!!:)

The trip of Madrid to Palm in plane lasts slightly more than one hour. And from Madrid to Barcelona approximately the same thing (in car not).
The travels from Madrid to Asturias 45 minutes in plane, but in car it lasts more than 4 hours.
It is a sample of which the Princess is very well, and does not have problems to travel.

I have a picture of the Queen with Elena's kids with dolphins and I didn't know which cause this was, now I know exactly

And yes, that will be nice when Irene and the baby of the Princes go there, too :)
I like the bag of Cristina with the faces of her children very much as well.

farewell dinner offered to local authorities in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Island, Monday 29 August 2005

It seems that the photos of the receipt are going to be very nice. The Princess Letizia is very simple and elegant, she still has the garment very well.

iowabelle · #**758** 08-29-2005, 06:25 PM

That is a very odd outfit the Queen is wearing (and I usually like her clothes).

Little_star · #**759** 08-29-2005, 06:35 PM

This has probably been asked before, but do the Royal Family have a palace/villa on the island where they usually stay? And where is it located?

Thanks.
