Downtown Madrid

The center of the city, which is the center of the country as well?
This bear symbol/statue is the symbol for madrid. It's used everywhere. It's located in the middle of a very busy plaza.

Inside the official palace cathedral. It was so beautiful inside. The statue of Mary with the crown of thorns on her head was a bit hurtful.


The front gate of the Palacio Real. The Official residence of the King of Spain. El Rey de Espana. (P.S. He doesn't actually live here)

What amazing architecture and history you're experiencing. I'm so jealous (in a christian sort of way of course). Maybe Sara and I need to vacate there.m

That's pretty funny about the king not actually living in the official residence.
