The Kings have traveled by carriage some of the most emblematic places of the capital in the company of Carlos Gustavo and Silvia from Sweden
Stayed at the ‘Grand Hotel’, where they also stayed more than a decade ago to attend the wedding of princess Victoria and Daniel Westling.
They were received at the Spanish embassy by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jose Manuel Albares, the Minister of Science and Innovation, Diana Morant, and the Secretary of State for Commerce, Xiana Margarida Méndez, with a representation of two hundred Spaniards from different sectors residing in Sweden.
The official state visit began this Wednesday with Felipe and Letizia’s carriage ride through the city through the capital. The Kings have had the company of their two hosts, Silvia and Carlos Gustavo from Sweden, and they have enjoyed the royal stables until they reached the palace. There they have met the other members of the Swedish royal family.
It should be noted that the relationship between the two royal families is and has been very good since past times. So much so that the Swedish Kings were present at the wedding of Felipe and Letizia, and also at the infantas Elena and Cristina.
This trip, which Felipe and Letizia will end this Thursday, the reason for this is to strengthen ties and relations between Spain and Sweden, and even more since the high number of Spaniards who have decided to emigrate to this place due to the almost non-existent unemployment rate.
