When will they leave madrid for China?? today?

The Princes will be already in the flight, it is foreseen that they arrive Shangai at last hour of Tuesday. It is necessary to bear in mind that the trip there lasts approximately 12 hours and that exists 7 hours of difference with Spain.

thanks for the information!! can't wait to see pics and videos on this trip!!!

So...they will arrive this night (Spanish hour) in China?
There has been an official farewell in the airport?

I believe that they will arrive in the night to Shangai, hour of China (seven hours of diference with Spain).

i think only the king and queen get official farewells, and not all the time. it's for important state visits only.
