This was the first appearance of Don Juan Carlos this Wednesday after stepping on Spanish soil. He was leaving Vigo airport in the car of his friend and host Peter Fields Course to Sanxenxowhere he will spend the whole weekend haggling with the Rascal.

The airport of the former head of state landed at the Peinador airport of Vigo at 2:00 p.m. direct from Abu Dhabi and, after seven hours of travel, Pedro Campos was already waiting for him at the foot of the runway, accompanied by his wife, Christina Franze.
His host had been waiting for him at the airfield for some time and, after an affectionate greeting, they both got into their Volvo to head home. Ten minutes later, they left Vigo without lowering the window.
Shortly before three in the afternoon, the scene was repeated in the access to the house of Pedro Campos in the parish of Nanin, in Sanxenxo. There a cloud of journalists awaited him, dozens of media professionals who had been in the vicinity since early morning to capture the moment when the monarch’s stay in the Rías Baixas officially began.
