King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia attended the "Procesion del Encuentro" at the Church of las Calatravas (Iglesia de las Calatravas) in Madrid. The procession was held as part of the Holy Week. Locally known as Semana Santa (Holy Week), Easter is the most important celebration in Spain. Processions begin on "Viernes de Dolores" (the Friday in the week before Holy Week) and last until Easter Sunday.
The procession that was chosen by the Royal Family was one of the longest and also passed through the main streets of the downtown area. The procession was organized by the Royal and Illustrious Congregation of Our Lady of Solitude and Desamparo, and started and ended at the Church of the Concepción Real de Calatravas.
Ils ne boudent pas leur plaisir d aller à la rencontre de leurs concitoyens en toute simplicité.

Pour assister à cette procession, toute la famille royale a su se vêtir en conséquence et se munir d'un parapluie !
