The King and Queen of Spain attended the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Instituto Cervantes (Cervantes Institute), which was followed by a lunch with the Trustees of the Cervantes Institute and the Ibero-American Ambassadors accredited in Spain, at the Royal Palace of El Pardo, Madrid.
King Felipe VI holds the Honorary Presidency of the Cervantes Institute. It is a worldwide NPO created by the Spanish government in 1991, to universally promote the teaching, study and use of Spanish and to contribute to the dissemination of Hispanic cultures abroad. It is named after Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616), who is considered the most important figure in the history of Spanish literature. The organisation is present in 88 cities in 45 countries, through its centres, classrooms and extensions, on the five continents.
