RONDA, Spain — U.S. first lady Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha on Saturday visited the picturesque southern city of Ronda, once a favorite haunt of actor-director Orson Welles and author Ernest Hemingway.

Security was tight as Mrs. Obama and 9-year-old Sasha toured Santa Maria, a classic Andalusian-style church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

The group — which included an unknown number of the first lady's friends — had driven into the hilltop city in a motorcade and later stopped for lunch at Del Escudero restaurant, set in a baronial style 19th century villa with typical whitewashed walls and red roof tiles located next to the bullring.

The Obama party is due to attend a charity event hosted by actors Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria on Saturday night, Marbella newspaper La Tribuna said.

“the last go around, the Muslims made it ALL THE WAY TO SPAIN! “

Al-Andalus was the name used by the Muslim population of the Iberian Peninsula for the territory that was under Muslim rule ...But the term survived in the form of Andalucía, the name given to the southern regions of Spain, this being the area where Muslim rule had lasted longest.

Moors are the Muslims that conquered and subjugated Spain.

The tax payers are not saps, they did not have anything to say about it. Or could not approve or disapprove this vacation. The Obamas own this one and consistently show they have mo respect for the American people. Now who will remember this in 2012?

What Knights? The Battle of Vienna was won by Polish, Austrian and German forces commanded by King of Poland John III Sobieski in 1683. The battle marked the historic end of the expansion into Europe of the Ottoman Empire. Thank God!!
