King and queen of Spain to receive royal treatment in San Antonio today
San Antonio is playing host to royalty today, celebrating the community's tricentennial while hoping to boost economic opportunities for the future.
King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia arrived in San Antonio late Saturday, and were officially welcomed this morning at a ceremony at the Spanish Governor's Palace, a historic site that links the city's origins to Spanish rule.
It was the headquarters and residence of captains of the presidio of San Antonio de Béxar, initially established in 1718 and moved four years later to a location near today's City Hall.
The royal couple waved at Canary Island descendants in period dress as they were officially welcomed at the Spanish Governor's Palace.
