In 2025 it will be 21 years since the attacks that plunged the capital into mourning. The bombs left almost 200 dead and some 2,000 injured, as well as entire families in shock. From Puerta del Sol to the stations where the explosions took place, Madrid is hosting a series of commemorative events starting at 9:00 am.
After the tribute at the Real Casa de Correos, a ceremony will be organized at Atocha station at 10:30 am. There will be floral offerings and musical performances in memory of the deceased.
At 12:00 noon, the Forest of Remembrance (in El Retiro) will be the scene of an event organized by the Association of Victims of Terrorism, which will be attended by national politicians to remember the fateful 11-M.
Throughout the day, there will be commemorative events at the points where the bombs exploded: Téllez street (13:30 h), Santa Eugenia station (18:00 h) and El Pozo commuter train stop (19:00 h).
