The Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Madrid was opened in 1993 as an official representative body of the Slovene Government to the Kingdom of Spain. It provides consular assistance and promotes bilateral political, economic and cultural relations between Slovenia and Spain. The Slovenian Embassy in Madrid is also accredited for Andora, Cuba and Algeria.

The Honorary General Consulate of Slovenia in Barcelona was opened in 1995 to enhance the development of economic, cultural and tourism relations between the Catalan region and Slovenia.


Cultural cooperation

Music

The celebration of the 20th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Slovenia and the Kingdom of Spain took place in October 2012 at the Royal Palace in Madrid, where the Slovenian organist Dalibor Miklavčič displayed his musicianship on the Baroque organ dated from 1778.

Exhibitions

In April 2012 the temporary exhibition of Nikolaj Pirnat´s illustrations from the first Slovenian translation of Don Quixote (1935–1937) was inaugurated at Pedro Almodovar´s Art School in Ciudad Real, Spain, and has since been exhibited in the towns of Castilla la-Mancha region such as El Toboso, Quintanar, Tomelloso, at the Regional Library of Toledo and at Cervantes´s Festival in Esquivias.

The Slovenian artists, painter Cveto Marsič, and photographer Primož Bizjak are often invited to present their works at famous Art Galleries in Madrid. In 2012 Cveto Marsič had an exhibition Tiempo de Absentia at Arnés y Röpke, while Primož Bizjak was presented at the MadridPhoto 2012 with his work Difesa di Venezia.

Heritage

The joint nomination of the mining sites Idrija (Slovenia) and Almadén (Spain) was listed in June 2012 in the UNESCO´s World Heritage of Mercury. The sites bear testimony to the intercontinental trade in mercury which generated important exchanges within Europe over the centuries. They represent the two largest mercury mines in the world, operational until recent times. See also [[1]Mercury mining heritage in Slovenia]

Literature

In June 2011 the literary evening with the Slovenian poet Aleš Šteger took place at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Slovenia´s independence and the inauguration of the Slovenian Cultural Association Triglav.
