His Majesty King Felipe of Spain visited "The Recovered Memory, Traces in the History of the United States" exhibit on Friday in Bilbao. The exhibition, curated by José Manuel Guerrero Acosta, focuses on the Hispanic monarchy's role in the formation of the United States.

It was organised by Iberdrola and "proposes an approximation to the little known contribution of the Hispanic monarchy to the formation of the United States of America, with special attention to the contribution of the Basque people to exploration, navigation and commerce, as well as to immigration in North America, from the beginning of the Hispanic presence in the continent until the 20th century," according to Casa Real.

The King viewed the exhibit alongside Spain's Minister of Health, Social Policy and Equality, Dolors Montserrat; the delegate of the Government in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, Javier de Andrés; the mayor of Bilbao, Juan María Aburto; the deputy general of the Provincial Council of Vizcaya; the president of Iberdrola, Ignacio Sánchez Galán; and the president of the General Councils of Vizcaya, Ana Otadui.
