The US First Lady, Michelle Obama, will meet with the King and Queen of Spain during her private visit to Spain at the beginning of August.
Michelle Obama will be accompanied by her 9 year old daughter Sasha and various friends of the family. The White House has confirmed that President Barack Obama will not be joining his wife on the trip.
The Obamas will be staying at the five-star Hotel Padiana in Benhavis, a complex surrounded by golf courses and run by an American company.
The owner of the hotel, Ricardo Arranz, has described the visit as ‘very positive’ for the recovery of ‘quality tourism’ in Marbella and the surrounding area.
