Overview
- On January 14, the royals toured the Centre del Carmen exhibition for nearly two hours and spent about 45 minutes speaking with Las Provincias reporters about the 2024 DANA coverage, praising local journalism.
- The exhibition, titled “La transformación de Valencia 1866–2026,” presents 30 milestones of the city through illustrations, front pages, and articles that trace the paper’s relationship with Valencia.
- A focal piece is a mural by artist Luis Lonjedo, based on an image by Jesús Signes, depicting volunteers crossing the “Puente de la Solidaridad” during disaster relief.
- Regional and national officials, including the president of the Generalitat, Valencia’s mayor María José Catalá, the government’s delegate, and minister Diana Morant, joined the visit alongside Vocento leadership.
- The visit extends the monarchy’s recent engagement in the region, which included surprise municipal stops and attendance at the October 29, 2025 state funeral for 230 victims; the exhibition remains open into February.
