Washington/Madrid - US First Lady Michelle Obama and one of her two daughters will take a summer break in Spain, a White House source said Monday.
Mother and daughter would come to the southern holiday resort of Marbella on a "private visit in the company of old friends," the source told the German Press Agency dpa.
US President Barack Obama will not accompany his wife, the source said.
Spanish media reports said Michelle Obama and her younger daughter Sasha, 9, would be on Spain's Costa del Sol between August 4 and 8.
There had been speculation that Barack Obama might also come to Spain to celebrate his 49th birthday on August 4.
Michelle Obama has reserved about 30 rooms for herself and her daughter, their friends and bodyguards at a five-star hotel in Benahavis near Marbella, hotel sources said.
The US first lady did not make any special requests, hotel owner Ricardo Arranz said, explaining that the hotel would function normally during her stay.
Earlier on Monday, sources at the Zarzuela royal palace declined to say whether King Juan Carlos would meet Michelle Obama, stressing that there was no official confirmation of the first lady's visit to Spain.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government had been disappointed in its hopes of hosting Barack Obama when the US president cancelled his participation in a European Union-US summit that had been scheduled during the Spanish EU presidency in the first half of 2010. The summit was subsequently called off. Copyright DPA

Reminds me of WWII, when George VI of England sent his Nazi-sympathizing brother (the abdicated King Edward VIII, who became Duke of Windsor) and his mistress-wife to Bermuda or somewhere for the duration, where he couldn't do any harm.

US First Lady Michelle Obama will travel to Spain next week on a “private mother-daughter” trip (is Michelle going to pay for the PRIVATE MOTHER-DAUGHTER TRIP=NO PRESS?), but President Barack Obama will not go along, the White House said on Monday.
Michelle Obama will also take up an invitation to make an official call on King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia, the White House said.
According to the Obama’s official schedule, the First Family will visit the disaster hit Gulf Coast in Florida for a weekend in August and will spend 10 days in the upscale northeastern resort island of Martha’s Vineyard.
Laura Bush went solo overseas at times but as far as I can recall it was always on official business.
Perhaps the Obama marriage is fraying.
