In Spain there is a guard mounting ceremony at the [[Royal Palace of Madrid]] on the first Wednesday every month from 12 midday to 2:00 pm (except during July, August, and September), weather permitting, as long as it does not coincide with another official event.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.esmadrid.com/en/royal-guard-madrid |title= EsMADRID.com - Changing of the Royal Guard|website=www.esmadrid.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130219162214/http://www.esmadrid.com/en/royal-guard-madrid |archive-date=February 19, 2013}}</ref> The unit mounting the guard is provided by the [[Spanish Royal Guard]]'s Honours Group. The ceremony has taken place every the first Wednesday of every month since it was introduced on 23 November 1994, with the Royal House deciding in December 2007 to reformat the ceremony and open it to public viewing, similarly to the militaries of the [[United Kingdom]] or [[Denmark]].

Aside from this, the [[1st King's Immemorial Infantry Regiment of AHQ]] does Guard Mounting Ceremonies on weekdays at noon at the Buenavista Palace in Madrid, the headquarters of the [[Spanish Army]], and is also open to the public. The unit providing the guard is the regiment's Honour Guard Battalion "Old Guard of Castille", accompanied by the Regimental Band and the Corps of Drums, and it is done per the military regulations of King Charles III and their respective drum and fife calls. The Honour Battalion's Fusilier and Grenadier companies wear the late 18th-century regulation uniforms and carry period muskets from that era, and the drill is from those same regulations mentioned above.
