First Lady planning a holiday to Spain
Britons with Costa Blanca villa bookings are not the only ones looking forward to holidays to Spain this year, with First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama set to visit the country next week.
The White House confirmed that Mrs Obama and her youngest daughter Sasha will visit Marbella in southern Spain with some family friends.
President Barack Obama will remain at home along with elder daughter Malia, who will be attending summer camp.
In an official statement released on Monday (July 26th), the White House said: "The First Lady will travel to Spain next week for a private, mother-daughter trip with longtime family friends. President Obama will not be joining this trip."
There has been widespread speculation across the Spanish media regarding the Obamas' planned visit to the country, with some news sources reporting that the family had been invited to take a Mallorca holiday and visit King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia at their summer palace on the island.
Mrs Obama is set to pay an official visit to the king and queen during her time in Spain.
