Infanta Cristina has returned to Barcelona, a city evoking her happiest years, and has settled into a 300-square-meter apartment in Pedralbes. The property, completely renovated with luxurious details, is located in the same building where she lived with her family years ago.
Initially, it was speculated that the apartment would be for her son Pablo, a handball player in Catalonia. However, it has now been confirmed that the Infanta will live there herself, having left her job in Geneva and handed over the keys to her previous residence. This decision marks a new chapter after her separation.
Despite her return to Barcelona, where she will continue working for La Fundació La Caixa, her future plans point further afield. According to reports, the Infanta is exploring job opportunities in international institutions based in Abu Dhabi, the city where her father, King Emeritus Juan Carlos, resides.
This potential move to Abu Dhabi would offer her not only career potential but also proximity to her father and an international airport with excellent connections to stay in touch with her children, who are spread across London, Madrid, and Barcelona.
The Infanta's circle highlights her desire to remain connected to the international field, where she has built much of her career. Abu Dhabi is becoming a hub for foundations and international organizations, which could be key for her new phase.
Her stay in Barcelona is considered a transitional phase, allowing her to be close to her family, especially her mother, who is going through a sensitive time after the loss of her sister Irene.
