King
Felipe
, who turns 55 next Monday, January 30,
has escaped to ski
this weekend at the
Sierra Nevada
resort in Granada, where thanks to the copious snowfall last Wednesday, there were 46 skiable kilometers of snow powder and
the sun was shining.
He was accompanied
by some friends and without
Queen Letizia
,
who, although she learned to ski and does it quite well, has been
seen little by the Spanish resorts
, perhaps to avoid photographers and onlookers following her turns.
Something that does not bother the Monarch at all, who despite
the full house
that the Granada resort has registered this weekend, with more than 9,700 visitors according to official figures,
has mixed with the rest
of the skiers, many of whom
have come close to greet him
and, like them, he has queued at the ski lifts, accompanied by a discreet security service.
Don Felipe
has stayed at the Trevenque aparthotel,
a classic of the station, located in a
privileged
enclave , whose rooms have
views of the mountains and the valley
and it is just 30 meters away from 13 of the ski lifts, which allows its guests to ski to the very door of the accommodation.

Don Felipe has also had no objection to being seen in
crowded places,
such as on Saturday on the terrace of the Lodge hotel, where he stopped to have a snack.
Also on Sunday
he ate with his friends
at the Alcazaba restaurant, in the area of the station known as Borreguiles, whose specialty is rice and grilled meat, one of Don Felipe's favorite dishes, who after lunch
was photographed with the local waiters and cooks
, an image that they posted on Facebook.
The King, taking advantage of the sun that shone yesterday in the Sierra Nevada, preferred to have
lunch outdoors,
on the terrace of the restaurant that has beautiful views of the Veleta peak.
Although this time his trip has been private, Don Felipe
was not new to Sierra Nevada,
a station that he had already visited on occasion as a Prince and where he was officially again in 2017 on the occasion of the snowboarding world championship.
So, he took the opportunity to practice skiing,
one of his favorite sports
along with sailing and paddle tennis, accompanied by the Granada champion María José Rienda.
On this occasion, the Andalusian Minister of Public Works, Marifrán Carazo, has thanked the Monarch for his visit to "the jewel of Andalusia" through Twitter.
