The King’s visit to Chiva, one of the Valencian cities most influenced by DANA, brought us a tender image of a girl talking to Dona Letizia and giving her a picture of the Virgin of the Castle, patron saint of the municipality.

As Rosie reveals, Dona Letizia approached the girl and asked her: “Who did those braids for you?“. Candela, only three years old, her mother said her father did not know.”They are charming, teary-eyed queens, poor things. I used to take it to my house” added Rossi, who laughingly remarked that her granddaughter, when I told her they were going to see the Three Wise Men, asked her if she was talking about the Three Wise Men.

The picture was so beautiful that Rosie did not hesitate to take out her mobile phone to take a picture of her granddaughter with the kings. The moment was like a ray of light for this woman from Chiva and all the neighbors who are trying to slowly recover from the devastation caused by the water ball.

According to what he said, Dona Letizia was particularly interested in his story. “It gave me a lot of encouragement And he asked me if I was evicted, which thank God I wasn’t, but I lost everything. He asked me if I am alone, if my daughter is studying. Now she has started online classes again, but we are still without internet and she goes to a friend’s house, her boyfriend’s house, anyone’s house so that she can continue her studies,” he noted.I very much appreciate the Kings visit. Talking to Doña Letizia was the best, because it gave me so much relief” he announced.
