Sailing: "Residencia Reina Sofía"

Queen Sofia presides the opening of the Residencia Reina Sofía of the Centre de Tecnificació Esportiva Illes Balears (CTEIB), on Tuesday, August 28 at 11 a.m. at the Escuela Nacional de Vela de Calanova. The ceremony is also attended by the president of the Balearic Government, Francesc Antich, the Councillor for Wellfare, Fernanda Caro and other authorities. .

The Residencia Reina Sofía is intended to become a meeting point for sailing teams who seek high quality training programmes.

The Conselleria de Bienestar has produced a web dedicated to the new residency with full information about the services available. The government page, published in Spanish and English, ignores the Balearic and Pitiüses language, which contrasts with the declarations in favour of the protection of the Catalan language that the vicepresident of the Govern, Pere Sampol, has been making recently.
