Will there be also a Mass to consacrate King Felipe VI ?

No details have been announced yet,until then we'll have to wait & see.

If there is a mass, expect it to be in the Cathedral de la Almudena.

The Cathedral de la Almudena is in Madrid, directly across a small plaza from the Palacio Real.

It was the location of the Prince of Asturias's 2004 wedding to Letizia Ortiz.

Might be an appropriate venue if there is to be a Mass of the Holy Sprit,however I prefer the historic Royal Church of San Jerónimo in Madrid.

The Spain of 1975, is not the Spain of 2014. I have my doubts that they will make a big religious ceremony.

Zarzuela has confirmed that there will be no mass.

The Palacio is the Official Residence of the King of Spain but not resided in and only used for official functions.

The main tribune will be covered by a stage, like the one used on 1975.

And at the outside they will celebrate the military parade:

I assume they will continue to reside in the same house and use Zazuela and the Royal palace for working / official functions?????
