Pontevedra, Apr 18 (EFE).- Unlike the previous visit, nearly a year ago, the return of King Emeritus Juan Carlos I to Sanxenxo (Pontevedra) is shrouded in greater secrecy and no one within his closest circle wants to Confirm any details about your stay.
“I have no official news that it will arrive tomorrow,” the mayor of Sanxenxo, Telmo Martín, assured this Tuesday, the person whom the monarch himself authorized to communicate his return to Spain in May 2021.
On this occasion, despite the insistence of the journalists, Martín has insisted that they only have proof of the arrival of Juan Carlos I “through the media” and has stated that, if it is confirmed, “we will receive him as one more citizen” .
The councilor has reiterated that he lacks “information” about the trip of the emeritus king because “nobody” has told him anything, not even his “friend” Pedro Campos, in whose private residence Juan Carlos I stayed during his entire previous stay in Sanxenxo .
“Last year the king had not come to Spain for more than two years and he made headlines worldwide. This year, if we are lucky enough to have him come, he comes to enjoy the regattas in the Pontevedra estuary, which is the best estuary in the world to do the sport he likes the most”, he added.
Telmo Martín has also guaranteed that the Sanxenxo City Council is not making any type of preparation for the arrival of the monarch nor has security been specially reinforced, beyond what is required by the sailing competition itself to which he would attend.
In all, the mayor of Sanxenxo has recognized that this type of visit “is very good for us” to be able to seasonally adjust tourism in the municipality, a sector that accounts for 70% of its entire economy, promoting water sports, the landscape and the gastronomy.
