Previously, the monarchs have held a meeting with representatives of the Valencian Business Confederation and union organizations at Belroy Hotel.

The mayor has pointed out that “if Benidorm is always hospitable; with the visit of Their Majesties, it has been even more so ”. A city, he stated, that "he has gone out onto the street and especially to the beach with love and respect" and showing their "best image" to Don Felipe and Doña Letizia, of whom he stressed that "they deeply know Tourism and the difficulties and uncertainties that we are going through ”.
