So what can we expect for the event? A little bummed that it won't be anything like the Netherlands.

I'm so confused here, I need help

Three Acts, like in Luxembourg 2000, Amsterdam 2013 and Brussels 2013:
Act 1
The King, Don Juan Carlos I, signs the Act of Abdication
Act 2
The new King, Don Felipe VI, affirms to maintain the Constitution. The Cortes prolaims him King of Spain
Act 3
At a later date, festive ceremonies involving the Armed Forces (parade), the Church (a Te Deum), and the citizens (festivities, fireworks)
That will be the rough schedule.

Zarzuela has confirmed that there will be no foreign guests, or mass.
Probably King Juan Carlos will officially sign his abdication at the Royal Palace.
King Felipe will be proclaimed at the Congress of Deputies, probably after the act, in front of the Congress he will receive military honors. After they will go to the Royal Palace to hold a reception.

Low Key & nothing like the Dutch Ceremony.
No Foreign Guests and no Religious Ceremony ,it will be a Proclamation Ceremony before the Spanish Cortes (Parliament) ,the extended Royal Family might be present if were lucky!

Seems a shame there will be no Mass.
Perhaps its time the Kings dropped the title 'Most Catholic Majesties' ?

Probably the family of the King will be present at the signing of the abdication in the Royal Palace. But the proclamation in the Congress of Deputies, the space will be very limited, and therefore the number of guests reduced.

Why do they refuse the Mass?If they are not Catholics anymore they should recognize it.
I hope the future Royal couple will attent anyway a Mass on the morning of that day.

That´s one thing you can take for sure. Every Spanish TV channel will be broadcasting Live also on their web pages, I have any doubt about it
There is almost anything else on the media since last Monday, I´ve never seen such a coverage of the RF events. Not even on F&L wedding.

According to the Spanish Constitution, Spain is a country officially not confessional. Religion is a personal matter, from the Head of State to any normal citizen. Therefore, the proclamation of the new Head of State does not include any formal religious event.

Perhaps there wasn't enough time to organise a Mass and remember the expense of all the invited guests/security at a time when Spain cannot afford such ceremonies.
It seems practical enough just to have a Proclamation Ceremony under such economic circumstances.

And I think is quite right to do so. As private citizens they can have their religious ceremonies like weddings and Holy Communions or attend masses whenever they want to, but an institutional event like this one shouldn´t be accompanied by a mass, IMO of course.
The proclamation of KJC was during Franco´s dictatorship yet. Spain was a whole different country in many aspects, this being one of them, and we musn´t forget it.
