Where exactly is it?

Madrid's antipode sits at 40.42°S, 176.30°E, in the southern hemisphere, east of Greenwich. That places it in or near the Pacific Ocean.

It lies roughly 20,015 km from Madrid — about as far apart as two points on Earth can possibly be. And the relationship is symmetric: the antipode of that spot is, of course, right back here in Madrid.

What's actually there?

Madrid's antipode is a rare one: it actually lands on solid ground, about 1 km from Mahoe, a peak in New Zealand. Most cities don't get that lucky — antipodal land pairs are uncommon since water covers about 71% of the globe.
