Princess Leonor, heir to the Spanish throne, has begun a months-long tour of the world in the Armanda training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia — along with numerous well-wishers on land and sea — gave the princess a teary goodbye.
Princess Leonor already made a stop in Spain’s Canary Islands off the coast of Africa after departing from the Port of Cadiz. It’s a similar route taken by Spanish explorers hundreds of years ago.
The Elcano will travel around Latin America and the Caribbean and end up in New York City later this year.
