He who walks a lot and sees a lot, knows a lot, or so said Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote. It is therefore not surprising that Spain embodies the tradition of learning and travelling, and became in turn one of the major tourism destinations in the world. Tourists are not passive individuals who are taken from one spot to another, but active voyagers who take a portion of their land with them and then enrich it with their experiences gathered abroad. This is all the more true about tourism in India, a country that is extremely generous in experiences for the foreign traveller. The Embassy of Spain is actively contributing to maintain and improve our tourism exchanges, and is rightly proud to announce the beginning of a direct Air India flight between New Delhi and Madrid, a shuttle which will connect the hearts and souls of Spaniards and Indians.

Spain and India are currently celebrating sixty years of diplomatic relations. Not long ago, those relations were mostly political and institutional, but nowadays we can say that we are engaging India in many sectors, like infrastructure, water and sanitation, clean and renewable energy, and river recuperation. The number of Spanish companies with active, physical presence in India has more than tripled in the last few years, something which shows our commitment to the "Make in India" initiative, among others. These have been instrumental both in deepening our relations and in contributing the development of those areas.
-Dr. (Ms). Magdalena Cruz, Chargé d'Affaires Embassy of Spain
