Europalia España

7 October 2025 

King Philippe & Queen Mathilde received King Felipe & Queen Letizia of Spain as guests in Belgium for the official opening of the biennial cultural festival Europalia. 

The Belgian and Spanish royal couple had an audience in the Goya salon, decorated with tapestries designed by Goya and gifted by Queen Isabel II of Spain to King Leopold I. Very appropriate as they would be visiting a exhibition with works of Goya later in the day. 

After a private lunch, both couples opened the prestigious exhibition on Goya at Bozar in Brussels together. 

After the official opening ceremony, it was time to say goodbye.
