The Treaty of El Pardo (or Convention of El Pardo) was concluded between Great Britain and Spain in March 1728 at the El Pardo Palace in Madrid.
It effectively brought an end to the Anglo-Spanish War (1727), sorting out the main points of dispute between the two states - although a subsequent Congress of Soissons and a Treaty of Seville would build on these.[1] The British aim was to make peace with Spain before they joined a potential alliance with Austria.[2] However the terms agreed by the British Ambassador in Madrid, Benjamin Keene were considered too lenient by his superiors in London, and were repudiated leading to the later discussions at Soissons that lasted nearly a year.[3]
Despite the efforts of the diplomats a fresh war would break out between Britain and Spain in 1739, little more than a decade later.
