three-day tour of Portugal to pay testament to the bond and diversity of
the relationship between the two countries and their peoples. Monday’s itinerary saw the royal couple welcomed at Porto Town Hall, and
also viewing the collection of artist Joan Miró at the Serralves
Foundation. After visiting Porto and Guimarães, Felipe VI and
Letizia, moved on to Lisbon, arriving on Tuesday afternoon where they
were welcomed at the city chambers and offered a dinner by the Prime
Minister, António Costa, at the Palácio das Necessidades. The King
and Queen of Spain ended their visit on Wednesday with Felipe VI giving a

Champalimaud Foundation. The monarchs then went to the residence of
the Spanish ambassador in Lisbon at the Palácio de Palhavã, in Praça de
Espanha, for a reception with the Spanish community that lives in
Portugal. The visit ended with Felipe VI and Letizia visiting the
Champalimaud Foundation, where they were once again accompanied by
