While the exterior of the Palacio Real was impressive, I enjoyed the interior more but photos inside were not permitted. What amazed me was the amount of decorative detail in each room, I could have spent hours staring at the tapestries woven with gold and silver threads, or the inlaid wood floors, the floor mosaics, and statuary; I could definitely do without the porcelain room, I mean I appreciate the artistry but, um, it seemed like a big bathroom. I suppose lots of money allows one to do silly things with porcelain.
