The founder of Inditex, Amancio Ortega, spent the first weekend of the season in the Aldán estuary, Pontevedra. At 90 years old, he disembarked from the yacht Valoria B showing an enviable physical shape, accompanied by his wife and friends. The Ortega family uses this area as a discreet refuge for rest away from the media spotlight.
The nautical logistics of a textile giant ⚓
The Valoria B, a 67-meter long yacht, features advanced navigation systems and engines that allow for silent and efficient sailing. Its design prioritizes stability and comfort, with roll reduction technologies. The Aldán estuary, with its sheltered coves, offers an ideal anchorage for large vessels, facilitating precise maneuvers without the need for complex port infrastructure.
The return home, between luxury and promotion ⚽
The return of the Valoria B to A Coruña was scheduled for Sunday, just as Deportivo could certify its promotion to the First Division. Perhaps Ortega, who already knows what it is like to rise and fall in wealth rankings, found a parallel between his yacht and the club: both float, but only one has a risk of relegation. Let's hope it doesn't run aground in the excitement.
