Sanxenxo (Pontevedra) (EFE).- The emeritus king went sailing this Thursday, for the first time in what is his second visit to Spain since his departure to Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) in August 2020.
Juan Carlos I arrived at the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo (Pontevedra) at 11:27 in a car driven by his friend and host, the sailor Pedro Campos.
Once again the expectation has marked the day with dozens of residents, photographers and journalists on guard since early in the morning on the port promenade.
From there it has been possible to see Juan Carlos I on the jetty get out of the vehicle with a cap, vest and white shirt, shake hands with the crew of the Bribón and go to the boarding area.
At all times he has needed, in addition to the support of his cane, several companions both to go down the steps and to access the Bribón itself, where a portable platform has been set up to facilitate his ascent.
The forecast is that his stay in Galicia will be marked by discretion, after the discomfort caused in the Government by his publicized previous visit and his refusal to give explanations for his personal behavior motivated by the fiscal irregularities he committed in the last years of his reign. .
Due to his mobility problems, the 85-year-old emeritus king’s idea is to rest and train with the crew of the Bribón with a view to the regatta that will take place on Saturday and Sunday.
