It’s located near the Prado Museum, a location that Michelle wanted to visit again.
Michelle Obama’s Spanish getaway
In early September, Michelle was photographed in Majorca, where she was staying with her close friends Jaime Costos and his husband Michael Smith. Costos is a former ambassador of the US in Madrid, and Smith is an interior designer who works with celebrities. She was then spotted in Madrid, where she showed off various outfits, including a stunning denim dress that she paired with some sandals and a colorful sweater.
On September 11th, Michelle shared a post of remembrance alongside some photos of the 9/11 memorial. “Today is a day of reflection and most of all, remembrance, for those we lost on September 11. May we never forget to tell their stories and honor their legacies,” she wrote.
