Eugenia María de Montijo
Universal Andalusian
María Eugenia Palafox Portocarrero and Kirkpatrick, countess of
Teba, better known as Eugenia de Montijo. She was born in
Granada, in 1826 and died in Madrid, in 1920.

Gypsy from Granada prophesied: "this girl will be more than a queen."
She studied in France and the United Kingdom. She was Empress of
France (1853-1871) because she married him
Emperor Napoleon III.
After the birth of the imperial prince, Napoleon Eugene Louis
Bonaparte, in 1856, increased his interest in affairs of
State, in which I intervened always expressing my own
viewpoints, often opposed to those of her husband.

and the waters of the Darro
through the Seine.
Eugénie de Montijo
what a pity, pity.
