Pondering the Societal Big Four at Madrid’s Royal Palace

Standing on the square of the Royal Palace in Madrid, it occurs to me that there was a master plan to its layout. I consider it Europe’s third greatest palace (after Versailles, near Paris, and Schönbrunn in Vienna) — over the years, while updating my Spain guidebook, I’ve probably visited it at least ten times. And I always learn more to shuffle into the book, and find it a joy to see.
