Velkommen til vores mødested på Calle Mayor 43. Herfra vil du begynde dit besøg i det kongelige palads
Navnet på pladsen har ændret sig over tid. Det har været kendt som "Plaza del Arrabal", "Plaza de la Constitución", "Plaza Real", "Plaza de la República" og nu "Plaza Mayor". Disse navne afspejler begivenheder, historie og herredømme i spansk historie. "Plaza del Arrabal" var det oprindelige navn for den nuværende "Plaza Mayor". "Plaza del Arrabal" var engang stedet for den mest populære markedsplads indtil slutningen af det 15. århundrede. Efter forfatningen i 1812 blev alle store pladser i Spanien omdøbt til "Plaza de la Constitución". Det havde også dette navn fra 1820 til 1823, fra 1833 til 1835, fra 1840 til 1843, og fra 1876 til 1922. Da Borbón kongen blev restaureret i 1814, blev det kendt som "Plaza Real". I 1873 blev navnet ændret til Plaza de la República. I slutningen af den spanske borgerkrig fik pladsen sit nuværende navn "Plaza Mayor".
Mere end 100 år er gået siden Mercado de San Miguel åbnede sine døre som engrosmarked for fødevarer. I dag skiller denne historiske bygning sig ud som en af verdens vigtigste gastronomiske markeder. Det giver besøgende mulighed for at opleve essensen og de mest betydningsfulde smag af hvert hjørne af Spanien. Fra den fineste iberiske skimmel og den friskeste fisk og skaldyr, der kommer ind dagligt fra Galicien, til middelhavsrisretter og de mest udsøgte oste fra Castilla, Asturias og Baskerlandet - på Mercado de San Miguel finder du alle højdepunkterne i spansk køkken. Spredt ud over mere end 20 stande, den fælles nævner her er et engagement i høj kvalitet tapas og pub måltider.
Denne lille gade er en af de to mest charmerende pladser i Madrid: Conde de Miranda og Villa. Og det kan prale af huser et rum beskyttet af den historiske og kunstneriske miljø, der omgiver det: På hjørnet af Plaza de la Villa er Torre de los Lujanes (tilhørende det 15. århundrede). I samme del af gaden er der også det kongelige maritense økonomiske selskab af venner af landet, den gamle kommunale avisbibliotek og kirken Corpus Christi, hvor klosteret af Las Carboneras er placeret, da menigheden holder et billede af den ubesmittede befrugtning fundet i en kulovn og som forskellige mirakler tilskrives milagros.
Det var en af de vigtigste middelalderlige centre i Madrid, da tre gader starter fra det, svarende til den oprindelige layout af byen: Codo, Cordón og Madrid. På udkanten er de vigtigste facader af tre bygninger af høj historisk-kunstnerisk værdi, bygget i forskellige århundreder. Den ældste er Casa y Torre de los Lujanes (15. århundrede), i gotisk-Mudejar-stil, beliggende på den østlige side af Plaza. Dette er nu kontoret for Akademiet for Moral og Politiske Videnskaber.
Det kongelige palads i Madrid er den officielle bopæl for kongen af Spanien; Men de nuværende konger bor ikke i det, men i Zarzuela-paladset, så det bruges til statslige ceremonier og højtidelige handlinger. Nu er det, når vores besøg virkelig begynder. Selvom Juvarras oprindelige projekt aldrig blev gennemført, kan det kongelige palads i Madrid prale af at være det største beboede palads i Europa. Og vi siger beboet, fordi, selvom den spanske kongefamilie ikke bor i det, er det stadig stedet, hvor de har deres officielle bopæl. Som vi har kommenteret tidligere, bygningen, hvis værker varede indtil 1764 da Carlos III boede i det for første gang, består af 135.000 kvadratmeter og 3.418 værelser, der også fremhæver sine 870 vinduer, 240 balkoner eller de 44 trappe det har.

At first I was disappointed we were walking “again on another tour”. I thought we were on a tour bus as my hubby had booked it but with Beatrice, soon I forgot I was walking and exploring in the August heat. I was transported into another time of Madrid and was in my element of history. She was courteous, professional and clearly spoke English. She didn’t rush us and took care to show us many key points of interest during our tour (including brief quizzes) while visiting the Royal Spanish palace. I would recommend her as a guide to anyone. Well done Beatrice!

Other than the last minute tour change, the tour itself was very entertaining and informative. The change of time did put a kink in our plans for the day.

The tour was nice, because we went during the summer it was very warm, so book in the morning, as many of the room in the palace does not have fans or AC. Also the tour didn’t cover the Armory which we thought was a must see! The armory is a separate building as u exit…it’s to the right.
Dear Marilyn, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with our Madrid Old Town and Royal Palace tour. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the visit, and we appreciate your helpful observations for future travelers, especially regarding the summer temperatures inside some areas of the Palace. Thank you also for mentioning the Royal Armory.
