Stormy week for Juan Carlos I. A visit to Sanxenxo that coincided with two cyclones for the former head of state: the photos of the kisses to Bárbara Rey in the Dutch magazine Private taken in 1994 at the actress’s house in Boadilla del Monte (Madrid) and the memoirs of Don Juan Carlos, Reconciliation, the book by the French journalist and friend of the emeritus, Laurence Debray. On this visit to Spain, Don Felipe’s father traveled on a plane owned by his primary dentist, Dr. Eduardo Anitua from Vitoria. A tour that this year has also taken him to Cascais (in Portugal) and of course to Sanxenxo, where the regattas that bear his name have been held. publishes it The Confidential.
The aircraft is a Cessna 560XL worth three million euros, and it has served the king emeritus to cover his trips to Portugal and to the Peinador airport in Vigo with a stop, of course, in Vitoria where he visited his close dentist friend.
