The Infanta Pilar, fascinated again by the Alhambra

The King of Spain’s sister, the Infanta Doña Pilar, visited the Alhambra this morning together with a group of friends from Madrid. The Director of the Council of the Alhambra and Generalife, María del Mar Villafranca, welcomed the Infanta to the Alhambra, a place which, according to the dedication she wrote in the Book of Honour, she “always likes to return to” and which “fascinates” her every time she visits it.
During her visit, Doña Pilar expressed a desire her wish to visit the exhibition “Art and Cultures of al-Andalus. The power of the Alhambra”, on display in the Chapel and Crypt of the Palace of Charles V in the Nasrid Palaces, before it closes on 30 March. One of the curators of the exhibition (organized by the Consortium for the Commemoration of the First Millennium of the Kingdom of Granada, the Council of the Alhambra and Generalife and the al-Andalus Legacy Foundation), Rafael López Guzmán, Professor of History of Art at the University of Granada, accompanied the group on their visit to the exhibition.
