Infanta Sofía is already finishing up packing her suitcases to start her summer vacation. Queen Letizia knows that, as every year, her daughter will head to Marivent, Mallorca, where she will meet her grandmother, Queen Sofía. The difference this year is that Infanta Sofía is now of legal age and her summer plans could undergo a slight change.
It is expected that, in addition to spending her days with her family, there will be moments when she wishes to reunite with her classmates. Just as Leonor did, Queen Letizia is aware that her youngest is now a woman with her own interests.
Queen Letizia learns that Infanta Sofía is ready to leave
Infanta Sofía is excitedly planning to spend a very special summer now that she has just turned eighteen. In a few days, Queen Letizia, along with the rest of her family, will begin their summer vacation.
While Letizia finishes up the last days of her official agenda, Sofía is already packing her suitcases to go to Marivent with her grandmother. Once again, the Mallorcan palace will be the setting where most members of the royal family will gather. As every summer, Doña Sofía will arrive first on the island and prepare Marivent before welcoming the rest of the family.
She will travel with Infanta Sofía, who will arrive before her parents while they continue with their obligations. This year is especially emotional, because Infanta Sofía arrives after finishing her international baccalaureate at the boarding school in Wales. Sofía graduated in May from UWC Atlantic College, accompanied by her parents, and is now enjoying planning a vacation with her grandmother.
Although Leonor is participating in her naval training until mid-July, Sofía will arrive at Marivent ahead of time to wait for her sister and parents. Queen Sofía, a loyal summer visitor to Mallorca since 1973, is looking forward to reuniting with her granddaughters after several months apart. Meanwhile, they are planning walks around Palma, dinners out, and visits to elegant terraces in Borne, enjoying their conversations and good company.
Queen Letizia prepares for Infanta Sofía's most special summer
Besides Marivent, Queen Letizia expects that Infanta Sofía will also ask to enjoy the company of her classmates. Now that she is of legal age, the youngest member of the royal family also wants to spend part of her vacation with friends.
Leonor already did so in her time, and Letizia doesn't want there to be any differences in how her daughters are treated. For this reason, it won't be surprising if this summer Infanta Sofía is seen enjoying her free time, like any young person.
Sofía has no problem spending her time in a family-oriented and peaceful environment like the one Marivent offers. The residence has witnessed countless royal summers, family gatherings, and informal receptions on the island for several decades. Infanta Sofía has taken part in all of them and it is now part of her summer routine.
It is expected that Leonor and the kings will arrive a few days later, recreating the traditional family scene gathered at Marivent. For Infanta Sofía, it will be an excellent opportunity to reconnect with Queen Letizia and her sister after months abroad studying and sailing.
Marivent will once again be filled with laughter, confidences, and above all, peaceful moments, without major events or noise, as befits a true family vacation. Thus, Infanta Sofía is preparing to experience an unforgettable summer with her grandmother, filling Marivent with family joy and generous summer calm.
