Urdangarín and Cristina: Pumpkins in the Zamorano town of El Perdigón

Sunday, December 28, 1997.Day of the Innocents.In the Mesón Taina, of El Perdigón, the town to a dozen kilometers of Zamora, a phone call commission four tables for four people each, but with the condition that they must be separated: two on the top floorand two in the below.

There is also a warning: among the diners there were "two important people".José Espinosa, then owner, feared to be a victim of the classic "innocent".After a while the then Dukes of Palma entered: the Infanta Cristina and her brand new husband, Iñaki Urdangarín, who officially announced their separation this Monday 24.

One of the bodyguards recommended lunch in Zamora

EITHERcuparon una de las mesas junto con otra pareja de amigos.The other tables were occupied by bodyguards.And precisely it was due to one of them, born in Salamanca, the food in the pellet.They returned to Madrid after a weekend in León, where the match of Copa del Rey de Bagonmano had played between Barça, where the now ex -duque and Caja Cantabria still played.The Blaugrana had lost the game and around home they were looking for "a discreet place" where to have lunch.And the escort, who knew the Zamorano people, suggested the picturesque wineries of El Perdigón, famous for their grilled meats.The Infanta requested fish for the great hurry of the cook.They solved the situation with the holiday and prawns of the house.Urdangarín gave a good account of gizzards and meat.In full honeymoon, they had married just two months earlier, they sweeten the menu with milk with milk.They were also sweet to be: they repeated dessert.

A mud jug and souvenir pumpkins

By then, the visit of the illustrious lovers, so far from the Nóos case, the jail, the exile and the departure of their real status, was already in the public domain without the need for Whastapp, which had not been invented.Four cars collected them at the door of the establishment among the popular enthusiasm that came, in some cases, to emotion.

Dresses with jeans "Like any young man of his age", of affable and simple treatment, in the most campechano style of the Bourbon tradition, a mud jug and some pumpkins were taken from souvenir.They agreed to take a photo, analog chamber, there were no mobile, with such bad luck that it was the first of the reel and hooked.In the development the image of the infanta was missing.Pumpkins and its smoked photographic effigy.In view of the rearview might seem a premonition. La mitad nítida, la de Urdangarín con las gentes del mesón, llegó a publicarse en LA EITHERPINIÓN-EL CEITHERRREEITHER DE ZAMEITHERRA.

More than bad omen, those "things that happen" should have beenWith varied gifts on his visit to Zamora on the occasion of the inauguration of the ages of man.24 years have passed and nothing is the same, not even the Zamorano people, who have seen the wineries languish.The taina inn has closed.Another December 28, 2019.Pandemia has made a dent in the rest of businesses.And emigration.The children who ran that day of 1997 through the streets of the town are today in Germany, Madrid or Valladolid.The Perdigón then had 792 inhabitants and the bustle of the weekends regular.Today it has 647 and along the way, as well as the marriage of the former duties, many illusions have been left.
