The ambassador of Spain to Costa Rica is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Republic of Costa Rica.
Spain sent is first diplomatic representatives to Central America in the 1850s, with a unique ambassador to the whole region. The ambassador to Central America was responsible for establishing diplomatic relations with the newly formed republics of the region. In the case of Costa Rica, both countries signed a treaty of peace, friendship, and recognition in 1850.
In 1934, Spain appointed Luis Quer y Boule as the first independent diplomat to take care of Costa Rica's affairs and, in 1950, the diplomatic representation was elevated to the rank of embassy.[1]
