Don Juan de Borbón inherited from his father, Alfonso XIII, a great navigator and yachtsman, a profound love of the sea and sailing, a sport he practiced and which remained his passion until the last years of his life. Luis Tourón Figueroa, an aviator, is also a researcher with a prodigious work ethic. The result of his latest work, this book, aims to reflect Don Juan de Borbón's deep-seated maritime vocation in all aspects—both professional and sporting—through a journey through Don Juan's life, his relationship with sailing, and his most cherished vessels, such as the Saltillo and the famous Giralda.
