Madrid Spain
Madrid serves Iberia directly and is increasingly a gateway for Latin American traffic reaching Europe, which makes it useful well beyond the Spanish market.

What to run in Madrid
Choosing a site is mostly about where your users are. Here is where Madrid is the right answer.
- Spanish and Portuguese end users
- Latin American traffic terminating in Europe
- Iberian redundancy paired with Paris or Marseille
- Regional CDN edge nodes
Connectivity in Madrid
Madrid anchors Iberian connectivity through ESPANIX, and has become a significant terminus for Latin American traffic reaching Europe as new transatlantic cables land on the Iberian peninsula rather than in northern Europe.
Jurisdiction and data protection
Spain, inside the EU and the EEA, with GDPR in force and the AEPD as supervisory authority.
Who this site reaches well
Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Morocco, and Latin American traffic terminating in Europe.
Pair it with Marseille
Marseille gives a second southern European path with different cable systems behind it, which matters if you are serving traffic that crosses the Mediterranean. See Marseille
Where Madrid is the wrong choice
Iberia sits at the edge of the European backbone. Latency to Central and Eastern Europe from Madrid is noticeably worse than from Frankfurt — choose it for the audience, not the geography.
Platform and stock
Servers here run the same platform as the rest of the network: KVM isolation, full root from deploy, BGP multi-homed transit and inline 2.5 Tbps DDoS scrubbing with nothing to activate. Stock varies by site — if a configuration is not currently available in Madrid we will say so and point you at the nearest site that has it, rather than substituting hardware quietly.
