In 1876, King Alfonso XII 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 1930s and as a consequence of the Spanish Civil War and after the World War II, the legation was closed.[3]
In 1996, Monaco opened an embassy in Madrid, and currently the Principality of Monaco is represented in Spain through a resident Ambassador in Madrid.[3]
Spain appointed Carlos Bastarreche as the first ambassador in Monaco with residence in Paris in November 2013.[3] Since then, Spanish ambassadors to France are dually accredited to Monaco.
