Queen Letizia of Spain looked smart in blue as she joined her husband King Felipe VI as they presented an award to a village of 101 people in the 'Nobel Prizes of the Spanish-speaking world'.

The 46-year-old Queen wore a light blue shirt with high-waisted pinstriped trousers as the royal couple greeted locals in Mual on Saturday, after arriving in a navy blue coat.

Finishing off her look with a pair of comfortable Oxford shoes with a low heel, she posed for selfies with Mual residents and spoke to local children as the village celebrated its success.

The village in north-west Spain was named an 'exemplary community' in the annual Princess of Asturias Awards, named after the couple's 12-year-old daughter Leonor who is the heir to the throne.

Mual was praised by the royal household for 'the dedication and work of its inhabitants, for maintaining traditions and conserving and recovering their heritage'.

The tiny vilalge also won recognition for 'protecting their natural environment, improving their quality life, as well as to motivate the return of the emigrants and attract tourists'.

The King tried his hand at bolo vaqueiro, a popular rural sport, and was presented with a jersey from the emblematic mountain race 'Puerta de Muniellos' during his visit.

Film director Martin Scorsese and marine biologist Sylvia Earle on Friday were among the other winners in the prestigious ceremony.

The awards, which began in 1981, are named after the heir to the Spanish throne, currently Princess Leonor.

As the crown princess is 12 years old her parents King Felipe and Queen Letizia usually preside over the annual gathering.

The King said: 'We live in times, as you know, of constant changes that perhaps, sometimes, are too fast.

'That is why references, exemplary acts and ideas that guide, mark trajectories and paths, however simple they may seem, are so necessary.

'You are a magnificent example, and for that you build a future and give hope.'

Queen Letizia and King Felipe - who ascended to the Spanish throne in 2014 after his father's abdication - are also the parents of Sofia, 11.

Yesterday the 45-ear-old consort put on a stunning display in a red fit-and-flare dress for another Asturias awards ceremony in Oviedo.

The sleeveless piece featured floral lace cut-out panels and fell just below the knees, and Letizia teamed it with a pair of patent nude court shoes.

The awards are given every year to personalities around the world who make significant achievements in the sciences, arts, literature and humanities.
