To note, Princess Leonor of Spain began her six-month naval training in January 2025.

What is Armed Forces Day?

Armed Forces Day is a day of gathering between Spaniards, civilians, and military personnel, with the aim of enhancing public awareness of their Armed Forces, in accordance with the Spanish Constitution and the spirit of the Royal Ordinances.

This major event dates back to 1978, when an institutional event was established to serve as a tribute to the Armed Forces and Navy and to promote awareness and their integration into society.
