Do we have any Spanish speakers here?

The last paragraph supposedly says Michelle Obama is holding meetings on her Spanish "vacation" with Saudi officials.

I would like to confirm its says this and find out if the site is a legit news site.

If true it explains why the liberal media is focusing on the extravagant expenses, and not what she is doing in Spain.

Mods, if this doesn't pan out, would you please delete this post?

How about the site, its it a legit news source?
I know a lot of liberal blogs disguise themselves as news sources to present opinion and lies as fact.

According to Wiki, it's the second largest paper in Spain, and one of their "newspapers of record."

Sounds legit to me, if you can trust wiki.

OK roughly it says: Various royal houses (ie royal families) have spent their summers in Marbella for many years. There will be a meeting between Michelle Obama and Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz, governor of Riyadh and brother of the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, meanwhile another meeting is shuffled(? this is the only translation I can find for 'barajar') ith the first lady with the owner of Málaga CF, billionaire businessman, son of Qatar's Interior Minister and member of the Qatari royal family, Abdullah Al Thani.

So far it seems that El Mundo is the only source of this story though there are other reports of their story.

El mismo medio también informó que Michelle Obama, mantendrá un encuentro con el príncipe Salman bin Abdelaziz, gobernador de Riad y hermano del fallecido Rey Fahd de Arabia Saudí, quien también está veraneando en Marbella.

Por otro lado, también se baraja la posibilidad de que la esposa del presidente Obama, se reúna con Abdullah Al Thani, empresario multimillonario, propietario del Málaga CF e hijo del ministro del Interior de Qatar.

At risk of asking a dumb question....why would Michelle be meeting with Saudi Prince and son of the minister of Qatar and a member of the Qatar royal family?

Isn't that well above her "pay grade"?
