Excitement for King Juan Carlos and his friend Pedro Campos: it's finally done

King Juan Carlos has made a firm decision that marks a new chapter in his life: he has traveled to Cascais to look for a home. This news represents a significant turn after months of speculation and reinforces the idea that the emeritus wants to settle near Spain. His loyal friend Pedro Campos, a regular host in Sanxenxo, could keep visiting him easily if he ultimately settles in Portugal.

The move comes right after his participation in the Xacobeo Trophy and after an emotional farewell from Pedro Campos's house in Nanín. What does this step mean for the emeritus monarch's future? Is his desired return to Spanish territory getting closer?

Juan Carlos I travels to Cascais after saying goodbye to Pedro Campos in Sanxenxo

Last Sunday, King Juan Carlos ended his six-day stay in Sanxenxo. After 5:00 p.m., he left the parish of Nanín, where he usually stays at Pedro Campos's house. Hours later, he departed on a private flight bound for Cascais.

There were no official events or formal statements during that journey. However, he did leave images that show both his physical decline and his determination to move forward with his personal plans.

Hours before his departure, he was seen boarding the "Cristina" boat with the help of two people, showing clear signs of fatigue. Even so, he didn't lose his sense of humor or composure. When he was asked about his health, he replied briefly and firmly: "Of course."

This gesture wasn't the only tense moment of the day. During his last walk along the pier, he appeared visibly irritated when the press asked him about the delay of his autobiography. "The more lies you tell, the better you'll see me!" he retorted with irony, hinting at his discomfort with certain recent headlines.

King Juan Carlos decides to move to Portugal to be near Spain

The move to Cascais isn't just a visit. According to sources close to him, the real purpose of the trip is to find a home in the area. Juan Carlos is looking for a comfortable environment, close to Spain, but one that gives him the privacy that Abu Dhabi can't offer.

Cascais meets those conditions, in addition to having incalculable sentimental value: it was one of the places where the Borbón family lived after the 20th-century exile. Although there is no official confirmation, the fact that he is exploring homes fuels speculation about a possible permanent change of residence.

For many, this would be an intermediate step before an eventual return to Spain. Although the emeritus desires it, it remains surrounded by judicial, diplomatic, and media questions.

For now, what is certain is that he keeps firm in his decision to regain some control over his image and his environment. Faced with media pressure, his response has been clear: to step away from the spotlight and make decisions for himself, without being influenced by his advisors' advice.

Pedro Campos remains his greatest support in this new chapter for King Juan Carlos

Throughout this process, the figure of Pedro Campos remains key. The Galician sailor has not only been his companion in nautical adventures but also a constant emotional support. Every visit by the king to Sanxenxo has been marked by Campos's hospitality.

Campos was the last to say goodbye to him on Sunday, aware that this trip to Cascais isn't just another one. With his usual discretion, he hasn't released statements, but those close to him confirm that he is aware of his friend's new direction. It isn't ruled out that in the near future he will be one of the regular visitors to the emeritus's future Portuguese residence.

The friendship between the two, forged on the docks and consolidated through decades of complicity, remains unbreakable. At a time when the royal family remains silent and tensions don't dissipate, the figure of Pedro Campos takes on an emotional value that goes beyond sports.

The decision by King Juan Carlos to travel to Cascais to look for a home has marked a turning point in his personal life. Along with the support of his friend Pedro Campos and his closest circle, the emeritus seems determined to reconfigure his residence and his future. Time will tell if this new destination is just a stopover or the beginning of a desired definitive approach to Spain.
