King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia arrive in the city Friday morning. They will take a quick tour of the historic district, the Castillo de San Marcos and St. Augustine’s City Hall, then make a brief public address, then make a private visit to the Cathedral Basilica before attending opening ceremonies of the United States-Spain Council meeting at Flagler College.
