At the Welsh boarding school UWC Atlantic College, the infanta Sofia has found an environment that combines academic discipline with a daily life marked by autonomy.
While studying her last days of the International Baccalaureate, the youngest daughter of the King and Queen of Spain is preparing to close a key stage.
Although her image barely circulates in networks or appears in school publications, a little-known part of her daily life has come to light: her diet at boarding school.
What does Infanta Sofia eat at UWC?
Sofia maintains a healthy diet, similar to the one she follows at Zarzuela, based on fresh food and homemade preparations.
The center’s dining room operates a buffet system that allows students to customize their meals.
Several main courses are served daily, a salad bar with a variety of ingredients and a dessert table where you can choose from fruit or sweets made in-house.
Options include vegetarian recipes, pastas, stews and local dishes, always well presented and with no trace of ultra-processed food.
The carefully designed and varied menu reflects the school’s approach to conscious eating.
British-style dinners are served between 5.30pm and 7pm. For those who get hungry later in the day, there are open kitchens where students can prepare something on their own, which also encourages some independence within the boarding school.
In a few days, Sofia graduates and faces new decisions. She has ruled out military training and it is not yet known what college career she will choose.
