Bucket List #5: Visit the Palacio Real

If you know me, you know I love royal things. I admittedly checked to see if there were any eligible princes in Spain before arriving and aspire to be Kate Middleton. El Palacio Real was stunning. Every room was decorated in a different way with lots of colors. One of my favorites was a room decorated in the Rococo style to look like vines were twisting all about it. The ceiling frescos and chandeliers were particularly beautiful. I saw two plain white ceilings and after all the other amazing ones they were stark and depressing. I don’t like old tapestries because the faded colors honestly freak me out. They look like vacant/dead people. The royal family doesn’t live there any more so its mostly just a museum which I find a little odd but I think it might get used every so often for official business.
