• Monarchy: Queen Letizia, as protagonist with Felipe VI to secondary route of the heir

  • Royal House. Princess Leonor and her determination to be "the best queen"

At noon on Monday, December 14, Queen Letizia landed with the "Kingdom of Spain" Airbus A310 at the Honduran military airfield of La Ceiba, to carry out

her fourth cooperation trip

since Don Felipe was proclaimed Monarch.

In 2015 it was premiered precisely in Honduras and El Salvador, in 2017 the destination was Senegal, in 2018 Haiti and the Dominican Republic and in 2019 Mozambique.

This time the visit was shorter, of only two days, as the objective was to deliver

120 tons of humanitarian aid,

one of the most generous donations in Spain in the last decade, to those affected by the recent hurricanes Eta and Iota, which have caused hundreds of victims and great damage, especially in San Pedro Sula.

The cargo, made up of 2,000 blankets, almost a hundred tents, 332 kitchens, 7,800 containers with drinking water, 3,500 mosquito nets, 2,000 folding beds and

other essential items,

included 24,000 rapid tests for the detection of Covid.

Honduras was precisely her first humanitarian destination in 2015, although this time the Queen has gone with the lesson well learned: no gala events or brand clothes that recall that controversial model with a strapless neckline of

Hollywodian

airs

that she wore five years ago at the official dinner offered by President Juan Orlando Hernández.

Although Doña Letizia has also surprised this time with her outfit, but because of the

minimal,

since she got off the plane with cowboy boots, a red vest from the Spanish Cooperation Agency, and her hair in a ponytail, accompanied by the secretary of state, Ángeles Moreno Bau as the only entourage.

Felipe VI's wife went directly by road to his hotel, a four-star hotel in San Pedro de Sula, a province where her intense schedule has been developed for this Tuesday 15, which began at 8 in the morning.

Its first act consisted of a meeting with volunteers from Spanish NGOs, including the Red Cross, Doctors Mundi and Action Against Hunger, to acknowledge their work on behalf of those affected by disasters.

Later he went to the Coronel Armando Escalón Air Base, where he starred in the star act of the trip, the delivery in person to the Honduran president of the 120 tons of humanitarian aid that he has transported from Spain.

He also visited the Oswaldo López de Arellano basic education center, where he

had a talk with the teachers

, and went to the shelter located at the Patria Institute, which houses almost 500 victims, including a large number of children.

And of course, there was an on-site tour of the areas most affected by the hurricanes.

Although there were no gala receptions on this trip, President Juan Orlando Hernández and his wife, Ana García de Hernández, who traveled to San Pedro de Sula to accompany Queen Letizia, offered her a lunch at the Operations Center. of the 105 Brigade.

Due to the imperatives of the pandemic, they did not go to the airport on Monday to receive her, welcoming her by phone.

In his place, the Honduran Foreign Minister, Lisandro Rosales, and the diplomatic corps of both countries were displaced, which does not mean that Doña Letizia monopolized a huge role in the Honduran media.

The televisions, which carried out live broadcasts,

came to describe her as "The most beautiful Queen in the world"

and devoted a large part of their news to her visit, which the newspaper

El Tiempo

valued as one of the most important diplomatic events in the country " for the relevance of the Spanish Crown in the world ".

At six in the Honduran afternoon on Tuesday, Doña Letizia began her flight back to Spain from La Ceiba airport, thus concluding what has been her first official trip outside of Spain since the coronavirus pandemic was decreed in March.
