Madrid Dinner  Tuesday June 17th, 2025

With great pleasure, we invite you to join us for a special OS dinner in Madrid on June 17th a rare opportunity to bring together our Stonyhurst community in Spain and Gibraltar. Whether reconnecting with old friends or forging new professional connections, this evening promises to be a celebration of shared experiences and lasting bonds.

We are honoured to welcome our distinguished guest speaker, Marcos Thomas Murtra Millar OS 86, the newly appointed President and Chairman of Grupo Telefónica. Marc will share insights from his time at Stonyhurst and the invaluable lessons that have shaped his remarkable career.

The dinner will take place in an exclusive private room at Boral Torcuato, nestled atop the ABC Serrano (Centro Comercial on Calle Serrano, 61, Madrid). This exceptional venue offers one of Madrid’s finest rooftop terraces, where guests can enjoy breathtaking city views in an open-air setting. Culinary delights will be curated by the acclaimed Chef Sergio Fernández, known for his masterful fusion of traditional and contemporary cuisine.

Guiding us through the evening will be Brian Douglas OS 83, a long-time Madrid resident, and the Anglo-Spanish Jimmy Burns Marañón OBE, OS 71 , former President of the Stonyhurst Association and a passionate advocate for alumni engagement as a Stonyhurst Association Committee member . Both Brian and Jimmy also serve as Trustees of the British Spanish Society, a charity established in 1916 to foster cultural exchange and mutual understanding between Britain and Spain, which is proud to have Stonyhurst as partners. They will introduce guests who are not already members to this influential NGO, which has long benefited from Stonyhurst’s support and of course share an update on exciting new developments at Stonyhurst.
