The President of the United States, Barack Obama, his wife Michelle, and their daughters Malia and Sasha, will spend part of their summer holidays in Marbella.

In what will be his first visit to Spain as President, he will stay from August 4 – 8 in the luxury Villapadierna Hotel, where 35 rooms have been reserved for family and friends.

Before returning to the United States, Obama will travel to the Marivent Palace on Mallorca to meet with King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia. He’s also expected to meet with the Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, at some point.

Government sources quoted by El Mundo, while failing to confirm the news, said if it were to happen it would be a ‘clear demonstration of the excellent relations currently between Spain and the United States'.
