El Rey Paciente de España (de 1975 hasta la actualidad), quien, después de más de 25 años al frente de la Corona, ha conseguido llevar a cabo la transición pacÃfica de la dictadura a la democracia, superar un intento de golpe de Estado y consolidar una MonarquÃa parlamentaria de marcado carácter democrático.

 Juan Carlos I (1938), King of Spain (1975), returned the country to democracy after the long dictatorship of General Francisco Franco. The grandson of King Alfonso XIII, he was born in Rome and educated in Switzerland and Madrid. In 1962 he married Princess Sofia of Greece, daughter of King Paul I.
Carefully groomed for his succession by Franco, Juan Carlos was proclaimed heir to the throne in 1969 and became king after Franco’s death. As king, Juan Carlos is commander in chief of the armed forces. He also has the responsibility for submitting a candidate for prime minister who must then be approved by parliament. Favouring gradual democratic reform, he instituted a parliamentary government based on a new constitution that was popularly approved in 1978.
As a keen practitioner of several sports, such as skiing and sailing, Juan Carlos supports and appreciates sport as a formative influence of unquestionable social value. The presence of the King and Queen and their encouragement of the Spanish Olympic teams during the Games in Barcelona in 1993 attest to the importance which Juan Carlos attaches to this activity.
