On June 23, 2025, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain attended a ceremony marking the 1,000th anniversary of the founding of Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey in Monistrol de Montserrat. Originally established in 1025, the monastery was rebuilt during the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, it remains an active Benedictine community with around 70 monks.
The millennium celebration of the monastery’s uninterrupted history began on September 7 and 8, 2024, and will conclude on December 8, 2025. Over the course of this period, more than 1,000 activities are being held, grouped into four main categories: Religious, Cultural, Participatory, and Social.
Montserrat, meaning "serrated mountain", holds a central place in the cultural and spiritual life of Catalonia. As the region's most significant religious retreat, it attracts groups of young people from Barcelona and across Catalonia, many of whom make overnight hikes to witness the sunrise from its peaks. Queen Letizia wore a denim dress by Carolina Herrera.
The CH dress is beautiful. Who would think you could make denim look so smart? The impeccable detailing and construction of this dress are amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe darts and pleats look great with the belt reducing any unnecessary volume
and giving the dress an hourglass shape.
Love the shoes! they are bright and fun, and a refreshing change from what we usually see. Comfortable too. Lyra
ReplyDeleteMerveilleuse silhouette dans cette robe en jean ceinturée ; bon choix que la couleur rouge que l'on retrouve tant dans son sac à mains à bandoulière que ses chaussures basses à double bride !
ReplyDeleteLa robe de la reine est bonne idée. Elle est à son image : simplicité et féminité.
ReplyDeleteLe rouge est une belle couleur: vive, féminine. Couleur que j’affectionne grandement.

A nice warm weather dress. The red bag and shoes work wonderfully with it.

I had to look up this expression, sums up Letizia wonderfully.
DeleteWhat a cute dress, I particularly like the way the arm opening fits on this sleeveless dress, and the skirt. Another CH style that is feminine and professional at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely beautiful look. Wonderful CH dress, fun earrings and super bag and shoes. I wore very similar shoes this weekend and they made every outfit look more interesting
