Three days after landing in Sanxenxo to participate in the regatta that bears his name, Don Juan Carlos had a private meeting with Kings Felipe and Letizia and Princess Leonor, coinciding with the visit of the monarch and his wife to Galicia and the stay of the heir to the throne in this autonomous community where she completes her military training as a midshipman at the MarÃn Naval Military School.

Taking advantage of this circumstance, Don Juan Carlos has asked to go see his granddaughter. It was then that this brief family and private meeting of the four took place.
After six in the afternoon, the previous monarch left the house of Pedro Campos, president of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo and personal friend, where he stays during all his visits to Galicia. From this Pontevedra town he went to MarÃn, a town that is 40 kilometers away and in this same vehicle he entered the Naval Academy where Princess Leonor entered on August 30. Don Felipe and Doña Letizia arrived shortly before, from Vigo, where they landed around seven in the afternoon from Madrid.
The last public meeting of Kings Felipe and Letizia with Don Juan Carlos was on September 9, when they coincided at the funeral mass in memory of the businessman and philanthropist. Alejandro Fernández de Araoz y Marañon. This farewell brought them together again just one day after saying goodbye to Juan Gómez-Acebo.
