Of all the European monarchies, regent and extinct, the Spanish is the one that has been least dropped by Ibiza. Coming every fifteen years has terrible consequences, like when you go back to Rome with your girlfriend, and when you review the photos you discover that you had gone with another. Felipe VI , for example, discovered that he had come with Jaume Matas . But it could have been worse, he could have come with his father.

Our country in 2005 was a much more surprising place than our country in the midst of a pandemic. Letizia arrived on the island pregnant with the Infanta Leonor , ETA set off a car bomb in the Campo de las Naciones, and Betis won the Cup. Podemos did not exist, so there was no one, like now, who issued a statement to say that was not coming. "The head of State must be held by a person who has been democratically elected and not by a question of consanguinity," they justified. And although they already have their own newspaper, they gave clues to journalists, we had to ask: "Know if you plan to contribute all those millions that are being talked about."

In his download, Podemos issued a statement in which he warned that his secretary general on the island, Aitor Morrás , had made those statements on Cadena Ser , from which it follows that he would not dare to repeat them.

The public appearances of the Kings have gained informational interest since Don Juan Carlos' farewell letter . Had he started his tour of Spain a little later, anyone would say that they were looking for him. His visit to Ibiza also gained interest after it became known that Don Juan Carlos was in the Arab Emirates. To know the others.

In just under two and a half hours, Don Felipe and Doña Letizia visited the Punic and Phoenician tombs of the necropolis of Puig des Molins, and then took a walk through the town of San Antonio, accompanied by the Minister of Tourism, Reyes Maroto , and the Balearic president Francina Armengol .

Ibiza is an island of 140,000 inhabitants that receives 830,000 British tourists a year, so if it were not for the pandemic and the quarantine imposed by Boris Johnson , the Kings would find a very rare Spain. When everything is going great, the national and foreign press are looking for balconies, mamadings, cannibal drugs, laughing gas and tampons dipped in whiskey. When all is going well, the Paseo de los Reyes would have been a sea of ​​crystals and silver nitrous oxide blisters, with the background noise of bars broadcasting Gaelic football on delay. The visit of the Kings to this town would hardly have been programmable in any of the previous fifteen years. And your neighbors today pray that it will be impossible again next year.

San Antonio took advantage of the apocalypse of closed hotels and empty terraces to represent an ideal similar to its winter, in which Doña Letizia, in adlib dress, learned to make 'senallons' (baskets) and 'espardeñas' (espadrilles) in a street market in six stands planted for the occasion, and Felipe VI chatted with the patrons of the 'Bohemio' and the 'Querida lolita' about fishing gear.

With the discotheques closed and without much to do, the few British tourists threw themselves at the little flags that were distributed for the occasion, and began to cheer and take pictures of the comparsa of their summer King. Although the majority, due to the yellow alert for high temperatures, preferred to follow the sanitary recommendations and stay near the water.

From the balconies, adorned for the first time with more Spanish flags than that of some Scottish clans, yesterday luckily only cheers and insults rushed out, few, while at the feet the neighbors squeezed against a good number of anti-covid laws ; and they took off their masks to shout cheers to Felipe VI and 'pretty' to the Queen, under the watchful eye of the security forces.

However, the Government Delegation authorized a rally against Felipe VI but there were no more than thirty people. In the end they almost complete the capacity . Ibiza has also been revealed as an especially respectful destination with the monarchy, but not because of that, but because the protest was not held until after its departure.
