As per report President said "It's a great honor to have the King and Queen of Spain and it's a beautiful country. We were in Spain not so long ago and we love it”.

The USA Today quoted the King as saying Spanish
royals wrapped up a five day goodwill visit to the US that included stops in
San Antonio and New Orleans to celebrate those cities' 300 year old ties to
Spain. "This is a great end to a perfect trip”. Moreover we appreciated
very much our common history, our heritage. So many years that we share so many
issues of common interest... As well as there is one basic common issue, which
is our value for democracy?" earlier on Tuesday, the Spanish royal couple
also had meetings at the World Bank.
