And, besides that, i always said that i don't believe in that article and it can be false!! I never said that the article is true!!

We know it, Juanita! It just seemed to be that things should be cleared up a bit, in case any distracted person happened to visit this thread.

Thanks for bringing the article to us and for asking about our points of view! Discussion is always welcome in this forum, as long as things are treated reasonably and with rectitude. :)

this probably refer to his works to design the greek olympics building? but i don't know any better... :o
it's nice to see rafael nadal there... haha..

oh yeah, did Infanta Pilar attended this event? i think i saw her on one of the pics.

the presentation of this award is better than the other ones coz it's located on the palace's outer courtyard where it's bright & sunny, isn't it?
btw, is this the same place where Felipe & Letizia has their engagement photos with family?

Yes, the Infanta Pilar was there, she is a member of the Olympic Committee and of the Federation of Equine.
The Prizes delivered themselves in the Palace of El Pardo, the same place where there was celebrated the Commitment of the Princes and the dinner previous to their wedding.
It is a nice Palace placed to a few kilometres of the Zarzuela, the Royal Family has never used it how housing, though the idea was thought about this palace as housing of the Prince finally It was rejected. El Pardo was the housing of the dictator Franco and it was dificult to give it an official use. Now The El Pardo is the official residence of the foreign Chiefs of State in their visits to Spain.
