• Monarchy: Friends of Juan Carlos I believe that he will reside in the Dominican Republic for a time and that he could return in September
  • Analysis.The destiny that the most beloved King by the Spanish always feared

The media in Portugal were yesterday revolutionized with the news of the arrival of the monarch Juan Carlos I in Cascais , the glamorous coastal enclave attached to Estoril , where the Spanish Royal Family (and so many other aristocracies) had spent that already distant exile in full Franco dictatorship between Villa Giralda and the Palacio Estoril hotel, the same one in which Ian Fleming created his legendary James Bond . Everything indicated that history was repeating itself. However, the King's election seems to be located on the other side of the Atlantic, in the Dominican Republic specifically, the island chosen by Julio Iglesiasto live in an eternal summer, accompanied by other celebrities who come for vacations such as Carolina Herrera, Rafa Nadal, Beyoncé, Will Smith, Marc Anthony or Cristiano Ronaldo .

On the Caribbean island, the King Emeritus would have opted for another corner as privileged as Cascais, such as La Romana , a city with a glorious past thanks to the cultivation of sugar next to the mouth of the Río Dulce and 112 kilometers from the capital, Santo Domingo . The landscape is made up of mansions of great magnates, artists and intellectuals from all over the world, such as those already mentioned, bathed in crystal clear waters of turquoise blue that cannot be found elsewhere. The most exclusive tourist and residential complex is the Casa de Campo owned by the businessman of Cuban origin Pepe Fanjul , a close friend of King Juan Carlos and one of the largest fortunes in the United States, where his family fled from Fidel Castro .

With an extension of 3,000 hectares, the Casa de Campo Resort & Villas resort, located in the Altos del Chavón area , was built 50 years ago by the Fanjul brothers, becoming the first luxury on the island. The jewels in the crown are the hundreds of luxury residences and villas of mammoth dimensions, surrounded by gardens and swimming pools and with infinite butlers so that nothing is missing. The cost of any of them starts at three million euros, depending on their size and location. In one of them the former Spanish head of state would stay, so that he would have celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Rihanna or Marc Anthony, who has property in this always sunny Dominican corner, as neighbors. Among the most requested are those of Mar y Palma, Esplendor or Casa Gloria, authentic paradises on earth. To get an idea, the price for spending a night in the cheapest apartments is around 700 euros in low season.

In the complex Luis Alfonso de Borbón , nephew of don Juan Carlos, married in style to Margarita de Vargas , daughter of the Venezuelan billionaire Víctor Vargas , who also has a mansion in La Romana. Casa de Campo Resort & Villas also has three golf courses (one of which is rated number one in the Caribbean ), paddle tennis, tennis and polo courts, a marina, an equestrian center, a shooting club and three private beaches with private access, as well as several artificial ones. We must add the succession of five-star hotels, prohibitive international signature boutiques, spas and high-end restaurants that dot the facilities. Not a single school is missing for promising young football players from Real Madrid. Privacy is more than guaranteed in the place, since only those who live in it or have rented a house can enter, as well as those who have reservations in one of its restaurants.
