July 14, 09 Palacio Real, Madrid I couldn't take the left side of the building because of some constructions... From Wikipedia: "The Royal Palace of Madrid (Spanish: Palacio Real de Madrid) is the official residence of the King of Spain, located in Madrid. King Juan Carlos and the royal family do not reside in this palace, instead choosing the smaller Palacio de la Zarzuela, on the outskirts of Madrid. The palace is owned by the Spanish state and administered by the Patrimonio Nacional agency. However, the Palacio Real de Madrid is still used for state occasions."
