King Juan Carlos I has marked his first visit to Spain in 2025 by returning to Galicia, a region familiar with his nautical passions. The emérito king is set to participate in the second regatta of the Spanish 6-meter league aboard the Bribón, a vessel from the Náutico de Sanxenxo, which holds the current national championship title. The event, scheduled for the 26th and 27th in the Ría de Pontevedra, sees the king rekindling his love for sailing, a sport he has been associated with for decades.
Accompanied by his hosts, Pedro Campos, president of the Sanxenxo Nautical Club, and Campos' wife, Cristina Franze, Juan Carlos I has been observed following his usual routine during his stays in Galicia. This includes dining at D´Berto, a renowned seafood restaurant in O Grove, where the king has been a frequent visitor. Despite the media's attempts to inquire about his recent legal actions against Miguel Ángel Revilla, the former president of Cantabria, Juan Carlos I maintained his silence on the matter.
The king's visit comes shortly after his appearance in Bahrain to support Spanish Formula 1 drivers Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso. His presence in Galicia not only highlights his ongoing commitment to sailing but also underscores the personal significance of the region in his post-abdication life. The upcoming conciliation act with Revilla, set for May 16 in Santander, adds a layer of complexity to the king's current engagements in Spain.
As the sailing community in Sanxenxo welcomes back its most illustrious member, the focus remains on the water, where Juan Carlos I has historically found both competition and solace. Whether the Bribón can reclaim its top position in the league remains to be seen, but the king's participation ensures the event will be watched with keen interest both nationally and internationally.
