The Spanish royal family are on their annual summer holiday in Mallorca, however this year, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia will spend their vacation attending various institutional events to support the social and economic recovery of the Balearic Islands following the COVID-19 lockdown.  ​

For their first outing in Mallorca, Their Majesties, accompanied by Leonor, Princess of Asturias, and Infanta Sofia headed to Petra to visit the birthplace, museum and convent  - emblematic of the life and work of Saint Junípero Serra Ferrer. He was an 18th-century Franciscan friar, founder of missions in America, beatified in 1988 by Pope John Paul the Second and canonized in 2015 by Pope Francis.

The royals toured the Family House (birthplace) located on Barracar Alt Street in the municipality of Petra in Mallorca. It is a characteristic example of the traditional dwelling of the peasantry of the Mallorcan interior in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Their Majesties and Their Royal Highnesses visited Museo de Fray Junípero Serra, created by the Pare Serra Friends Association in 1959, in a building adjacent to the Family House. The museum brings together paintings, prints, medals, sculptures, reliefs, engravings, photographs and models related to the places of the Saint's work.
Concluding their trip, they received a guided tour of Santuari de la Mare de Déu de Bonay, considered the last place where Saint Junípero Serra Ferrer preached before going to America. The sanctuary contains a relic of the body and the coffin, including a temporary exhibition of 30 paintings by Juan Ros Marí that show the Saint's life in Mallorca and America.
It was sweet to see big sister Leonor helping Sofia who needed a crutch during a walk through the streets of Petra. The young princess injured her right knee and it's reported she required stitches.

I love the way this dress is gathered at the waist and them drapes downward creating an interesting flow of fabric. The lightweight fabric makes this possible. It can also be worn without the belt and looks good that way too. The dark red colour is also beautiful although it looks more like coral on my screen. The shoes look great with it.

I'm not enjoying the Dominguez on Letizia. The colour is great but there seems to be a shade too much gathering at the waist, creating extra fabric under the bus. This lends a matronly vibe to something I'd prefer to see as a neat fit-and-flare summer dress. Lovely fabric, and if espadrilles must be worn then these leather Uterques are more presentable than some.Love the Ikat tote.


Also love Leonor's Mango dress with edgy bell shape and sophisticated monochrome leaf print. As for poor Sophia, what a hero, and such a shame to have to hobble round with a stick! Her pretty white playsuit shows up her enviable tan nicely.The Spanish royals are taking things seriously with a working holiday, hope they get time off as well as they've been so busy of late. Fun to see more of their growing daughters.

In all honesty, my expectations for the Queen's August wardrobe are very low indeed, following the majority of ensembles worn to visit the Autonomous Communities. To my surprise, Monday's look was fresh and vibrant. The dress falls into a subtle asymmetric drape from the fabric amassed from the V-neck down. The cut of the dress is straight, the belt does an admirable job of defining the waist with little gathering, creating an attractive hourglass silhouette. I don't think the minimalist approach (without the belt) would have been as flattering to Letizia's figure. The striking 'poppy' red is stunning, and the sheer textured overlay looks delicate during motion against the lining. The simple design is complemented by contrasting textures and tonal colours of the accessories. Minor quibble, in some of the close-up photographs the fastening of the belt looks a little untidy. I wonder if the tail ends of the belt should have been discreetly tied at the back for a neater presentation overall.

At first glance this dress strikes me as warm and vivid. I love this particular shade of colour. The gathering from the waist I quite like it adds softness, the dress flows well. The leather wedges look a lot better.
