I see this event by Spanish International television (TVE) , since I'm from Argentina. The King was wonderful speaking with Ayala, and even if I do not share Ayala's political ideas, I admire him...He has 100 years old and he speaks as he was only 20! Hope we must reach that old age with our brain and body as fresh as he has!
