Diplomatic relations

In 1876, King Alfonso XIII authorized the creation of a legation of the Principality of Monaco in Madrid. Since then, the Principality maintained its representation continuously in the capital of Spain until, in the decade of the 30s and as a consequence of the Spanish civil war and after the world war, the legation was closed.[4]

In 1996, Monaco opened an Embassy in Madrid, and currently the Principality of Monaco is represented in Spain through a resident Ambassador in Madrid.[4]

Spain appointed Carlos Bastarreche as the first Ambassador in Monaco with residence in Paris in November 2013, which was succeeded by Ramón de Miguel on August 1, 2014.[4]
