• Both the Juan Sebastián de Elcano and the frigate Blas de Lezo will be open for public visits from July 4 to 7, with access organized by order of arrival and a reinforced Line 6 bus service.
• Prior to her transfer back to the Elcano, Leonor took part in live-fire exercises on the Blas de Lezo off the Canary coast under Vice Admiral Juan Bautista Pérez Puig.
• Following the Gijón stop, the Elcano will call at Ferrol from July 9 to 11 and reach Marín on July 13, where on July 16 the guardiamarinas will receive their officer commissions.
