He keeps his promise to Seville
According to information released on his visit, it is reported that Barak Obama is paying a debt with the capital of Seville. He was supposed to come to the city in July 2016. Unfortunately, this visit was cancelled when five police officers were killed in Dallas.
This is not the first time Barack Obama has visited Spain, as he has already visited Madrid twice. For his part, his wife and daughter visited the Costa del Sol and Granada in 2010. The former First Lady also stayed on Mallorca in 2017.
These visits have a significant impact on the destination because of the wide media coverage they generate. A good deal for Spain, whose tourism continues to grow.
