西班牙同英国建立正式外交关系的时间可以上溯到15世纪。早在15世纪90年代费迪南德国王和伊莎贝拉女王共同当政时期,西班牙就在伦敦设立了大使馆。这是当时在伦敦设立的第一家外国使馆。西班牙驻英使馆的馆址已经换过许多地方,正像它的大使每几年就要更换一样。马德里派驻英国的现任大使是57岁的何塞·华金·普伊赫·德拉贝利亚卡萨斯。尽管担负如此重要的职务必然会感到明显的压力,但在位于贝尔格雷夫广场的大使官邸里,大使夫妇却显得热情、轻松,像在自己家里一样悠然自得。
Spain’s formal diplomatic relations with Britain date back to the 15th century. As early as the reign of Queen Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in the 1590s, Spain set up an embassy in London. This was the first foreign embassy in London at the time. The site of the Spanish Embassy in the United Kingdom has changed many places, just as its ambassadors have to be replaced every few years. Madrid’s current ambassador to Britain is 57-year-old Jos Joaquin Puijo Delabella Casas. Despite the obvious pressure to take such an important position, the ambassadors appear passionate, relaxed and enjoyable at their ambassador’s residence in Belgrave Square.
