Royal Palace, used for state dinners, but not usually inhabited by the royal family. Like most things that I found different about Spain when compared with France, the palace, while beautiful, is much more practical than, say, Versailles.

Spain 4 of 9 - Royal Palace

Spain 3 of 9 - El Retiro Park
El Retiro Park in Madrid - sort of like Central Park in NYC...it's beautiful.
Man-made square lake in middle of park with boating and eating available.
The park also had some cool pruned trees. I've been told that the trees take decades to get this large and varied.

Spain 2 of 9 - Plaza Mayor, Madrid
Shots of Plaza Mayor - Mostly various actors around the square except for the awesome accordion player who played for us while we ate outside.
