The King and Queen of Spain continued their tour to all of the Autonomous Communities with a trip to the Basque Country, with activities in Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz. The objective is to support the recovery of social, economic and citizen activity following the COVID-19 lockdown.

Their Majesties first activity of the day was a visit to the Museo Guggenheim in Bilbao. They toured the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson's exhibition 'In Real life', which brings our attention to some of today’s most urgent issues through approximately 30 artworks created by the artist between 1990 and today.

The King and Queen also toured the  'Learning through art 2020' exhibition, which consists of works carried out by primary school students throughout this school year. ​
King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia moved to the Museo de Bellas Artes where they held a meeting with business representatives from the Basque Country. An open dialogue was then held on the impact of COVID-19 on the Basque business network.

In the afternoon the Royal Couple moved to the Fundación San Prudencio de Vitoria-Gasteiz, a non-profit entity in management and application of Social Responsibility in Álava companies. They held a meeting with the members of the Foundation's board of trustees and attended an open dialogue on the impact of COVID-19 on activities and users of the Foundation. Their Majesties toured the musculoskeletal treatment space within the area that the Foundation dedicates to occupational health, along with the Foundation's Headquarters. During the pandemic, the Foundation has carried out various initiatives to help alleviate the negative effects caused by COVID-19.  ​​

Sadly, I am rarely enamoured with the Queen's choices from Zara. I very much like some of the brand's pieces, however, Letizia's picks often lack in quality and cut. On Friday there was a disconnect between the calibre of Their Majesties attire.  Just to clarify, I am not suggesting that Letizia should be wearing an expensive dress, quite the contrary.  I would tone down the look in favour of slim-fit, cropped trousers, a sleeveless crisp shirt and ballet flats or delicate alparagatas (I am sure she owns variations of these pieces already). The tailoring would present well and the simplicity would remove the 'fashion' from the event. There is a teal slip in  Zara's stock photograph, I believe that Letizia's is white, which makes the print look a little washed-out, the rose pattern would have popped against a vibrant underlay (as seen above). Overall this outfit is mediocre, but as always, Letizia is infinitely graceful.

That print really needs the teal slip to add a much-needed touch of definition.

The soft, feminine style of this dress is hampered by the mish mash of big flowers in too many different colours. I do like the gathered sleeves and neckline. The lightweight fabric is flimsy but I think it works for hot weather.

Not hot weather in the Basque Country either...it was cloudy and about 20C.....in fact it rains more than in England there, as I said before most Spanish places are not hot, however the tourists visit the Mediterranean part and the South where there is so hot, so they think all the country is like that.

I think she tried to wear the colours of the Basque flag (green, white and red)...and this was the one she found.

For some reason, these espadrilles seem too big and clunky for her.

This is a very serviceable workdress, a pretty print and the light chiffon flows prettily. But I see it is plagued by one of those elasticated waists which move about all over the place and seem most unflattering to me. I recently bought a top with one and have just taken all the elastic out to remodel as the print is what I'm after! This is better executed than my little summer top, but the awkward effect remains marked. The clumpy, pale espadrilles don't help, although, in her defence, I must say that Letizia's natural grace as ever and she carries all well.

This is a very soft, subtle and soft looking dress. The elasticised waist I am not a fan of, they seem very unfavourable to me, but the Queen wears it well.

I understand that the Zara brand is moderately priced ready-to-wear. Nevertheless, I think this is a lovely dress, and it seems to be a favorite with the Queen. But I wish Letizia would toss those clunky, ill-fitting espadrilles. She owns other pairs which are so much more flattering.
