PALMA DE MALLORCA, Spain — U.S. first lady Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha had lunch with Spain’s king and queen on Sunday at the royal family’s holiday retreat on the resort island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean.
Obama and her daughter arrived at Marivent palace and were greeted at the front door of the residence by King Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia and Princess Letizia.
The king has for decades spent August vacations at the palace on the Balearic island’s southwestern coast near Palma de Mallorca.
Lunch was Andalusian-style chilled gazpacho soup, char-grilled turbot, veal escalopes with mustard, Oriental rice with sauteed mushrooms, a Mallorca-style vegetable ratatouille and sliced fruit with ice cream, the palace said.
After lunch, the first lady’s party was due to fly back to the United States aboard Air Force Two.
