This first visit is a trial visit, to feel how we deal with his former subjects who come here from time to time
Bonifacia Valcabado Sanz is a woman from Valladolid who just turned 108 years old. He confesses to Berta Pontes de los Ríos in ‘El Norte de Castilla’ that his secret is not to work too much, eat little, exercise and drink a small glass of Ribera a day. I wanted to write that I will die young because I don’t do any of that. But no, what is it: young man, I die no more. And who says fifty is the new thirty is that his back doesn’t hurt when he bends over.
Bonifacia was born in 1914. Total, the day before yesterday. What those eyes must have seen. To see, he saw two princes leave Spain. One never came back, the other returns today to turn a Friday in May into a gift-free king’s morning and spend a long weekend. It will not be the last: we already know that his wish is to “travel often to Spain to visit his family and friends”. This first visit is the test, to feel how we interact with their former subjects who come here from time to time. And according to what is read and heard, we take it between normal and we see. Because what a disappointment, man. How sad. What a desolation. As nice as he seemed, so pichi, such a good seller of Spain abroad, such a maker of democracy. And so long, that being tall has always been a plus in this country.
Bonifacia lives her last years in peace. Juan Carlos I don’t know. I do not know whether a man so long sheltered by the soft cushions of admiration has the power to examine his conscience, to take upon himself his excesses, and to attempt the damage he has done to the nation, the monarchy, and those under to ease us who trusted him. Or maybe he just went from one artificial paradise to another. We will see.
