This time, the setting was Rincón de Soto, in La Rioja, where she visited the CEIP Entresotos and the SIES Gonzalo de Berceo.

The interesting aspect of this event is how Letizia balances the formal tone of her role with a friendly and approachable image. She knows it’s an event with children and teachers, so…
