Spain and US to mark US independence 250th anniversary

Spain and the United States are preparing for a series of cultural, historical, and diplomatic commemorations between 2025 and 2026 to mark the 250th anniversary of United States independence. The celebrations highlight the historical role Spain played during that era and aim to strengthen transatlantic ties.

The connection between the two nations is reflected in various cultural landmarks in Madrid, such as the Real Jardín Botánico, which houses American plant species like the Virginia persimmon and Osage orange. Other sites of shared history include Museo Chicote and the Botín restaurant, serving as symbols of the enduring cultural dialogue between the two countries.
