Madrid - German President Horst Koehler was Friday visiting Spain, where he toured Madrid's Prado art museum with Crown Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia. Koehler began his two-day official visit on Thursday.

He discussed the economic crisis, bilateral and other questions with Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero in the evening, and attended a dinner hosted by King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia.

Juan Carlos expressed his condolences to Koehler over a recent school shooting, which claimed 16 lives in the German town of Winnenden on Wednesday.

Officials gave no information about the political contents of Koehler's talks with Spanish leaders.

Koehler was scheduled to end his visit by attending the fifth German-Spanish Forum, at which politicians, business leaders and academics regularly discuss international developments.
