She then named the adopted daughter of Marín, Pontevedres municipality where the Naval Military School is located in which she has completed her training for the last year.
"We have very little left to separate, but I won't have any grudge because I want to return to Galicia forever. Or as I heard entering the Ferrol river, here is my home, where the sea ends. Moitas grazas, from the heart, for this honor that I receive the excitement that you felt in this land so welcomed and supported on the first day," the Princess of Asturias expressed in her speech of gratitude.
The title of “Adoptive Son of Marín” was previously awarded to King Felipe, then Prince of Asturias, on December 16, 1986, during his naval training.
