While waiting for Infanta Sofía to finish her classes at the boarding school in Wales this Thursday and reunite with her family in Madrid, to spend the rest of Holy Week together, the Kings have made a trip to Zaragoza to pick up the princess Leonor who, like other cadets, has brought forward her departure from the military academy. Fathers and daughter traveled from the Aragonese capital towards Madrid on Tuesday afternoon, and on the way, they made a technical stop at La Almunia de Doña Godina where they had dinner together at the El Patio restaurant.
The presence of the Kings and Princess Leonor went unnoticed until those responsible for the El Patio hotel restaurant posted some photos of the visit on their social networks. In the images you can see that the three dressed casually, with the particularity that both the Queen and her daughter Leonor chose two sailor-striped sweaters, although Letizia’s was black with white stripes and the Princess’s was white with black stripes. . A classic design, always in fashion, that both the Queen and her daughter have used on other occasions and that was also the choice of the Princess of Wales for her emotional video in which she announced that she was suffering from cancer.
The Queen completed her outfit with black canvas pants and a leather trench coat, while the Princess wore jeans, a black parka and a colorful scarf. The King, in the background, also wore jeans and was warm with a parka and scarf.
The calendar of the Zaragoza Military Academy indicated March 28 as the maximum departure day for the cadet students who must be back in the facilities on April 4. Since last Monday, however, there were no longer classes and the cadets could leave the academy as soon as they completed their pending tasks. Leonor finished her obligations on Tuesday at noon and opted to travel directly to Madrid, a car journey of just over three hours that she has already done on other occasions since she entered the academy last August. . This time, however, she did not travel with the only company of her bodyguards, since the Kings, who have not had official activities since Thursday of last week, chose to surprise their eldest daughter and showed up in Zaragoza to pick her up. .
On the way to Madrid, the Kings and Leonor stopped in La Almunia de Doña Godina, a town located 50 kilometers from Zaragoza, where they went to the El Patio hotel restaurant to have a drink before resuming the route. As explained by those responsible for the establishment, parents and daughter taste ham, squid and other tapas to share. Located next to the A-2, the place is outside the urban center but its cafeteria is well known by both locals and travelers. The Kings and his daughter had dinner at the restaurant located on the ground floor of the hotel, where at that time, around 8 in the afternoon, there were not many diners. Before resuming the trip to Madrid, Los Reyes and Leonor posed with the employees and managers of the restaurant, who this Wednesday uploaded the images to social networks with this message “Yesterday we had a very special visit, it was an honor to serve you, thank you for choosing us.”
