Infanta Elena received a tribute from the Seville City Council and the Real Club Pineda on Saturday, November 7, recognizing her long-standing connection to the city and her commitment to equestrian sports. The ceremony took place at the central track of the Real Club Pineda during the Seville City Equestrian Competition and the 10th Spanish Veterans Jumping Championship.
Seville Mayor José Luis Sanz and Real Club Pineda President Rodrigo Molina presented the Infanta with a commemorative Giraldillo and the club's metope. Mayor Sanz described her as “one of the best ambassadors” of Seville, noting her role in promoting the city through her presence at equestrian events. Infanta Elena, who has been an Adopted Daughter of Seville since 1995, participated in the veterans' team competition prior to the recognition ceremony.
