Letizia conducted her engagement solo and was not joined by her husband King Felipe VI during last night's presentation.

However, the pair were seen together just days earlier when they visited Seville for another scientific engagement.  

The pair attended the inauguration of an aerospace technology transfer incubator at the Aerospace Technology Park of Andalusia on Tuesday.

Luckily the weather was kinder to the monarch last night as she escaped the downpour she was caught in earlier this week.   

Despite the damp weather the Spanish monarch was all smiles as she braved the rain with a giant umbrella and with a Hugo Boss mac draped over her shoulders on Tuesday.

Letizia appeared unfazed by the showers as she greeted the crowds who had lined the street in in the La Rinconada area of the city to catch a glimpse of her.  

Luckily the queen was able to take some refuge indoors during the inauguration of an aerospace technology transfer incubator at the Aerospace Technology Park of Andalusia.

Although it appeared to have been raining the rain stayed away as the queen made her entrance

The park was created in 2010 in an effort to boost industry in Andalusia. The complex now plays hosts 538 companies and over 14,000 employees

Although the royal was not tasked with meeting all 14,000 employees she was glad to meet some involved in Andalusia's growing industry. 

Setting her umbrella aside Letizia and the king were lead on a tour of the park greeting workers in white coats this afternoon. 

Crowds were able to catch a glimpse of the queen sans umbrella later today when she took to the balcony of the Municipality of La Rinconada in Andalusia.

She smiled down adoringly at the crowds as the rain gave off enough for her to remove her rain mac.
