King Felipe and Queen Letizia visited the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, where hundreds of residents gathered along the main approaches to the town hall to welcome them. Felipe and Letizia spent about half an hour greeting people. In the town hall guestbook, the royal couple described the visit as long awaited and badly needed, and said they were repaying a debt.
