Dinner

Dinner scheduled at Madrid restaurant with roundtrip transfers provided. 

 

Discover the grandeur of Madrid's Royal Palace, the largest royal palace in Western Europe, where more than 3,000 lavishly decorated rooms showcase centuries of Spanish history, art, and royal tradition. From the dazzling Throne Room and Royal Armory to priceless masterpieces by Goya, Velázquez, and Caravaggio, every corner offers a glimpse into the splendor of Spain's monarchy. Perched above the picturesque Plaza de Oriente, the palace delivers an unforgettable experience that blends breathtaking architecture, rich cultural heritage, and spectacular city views. Our visit takes place before the palace opens to the public, making it a truly unique experience.

The "Posada de la Villa" is proof of the eternal Madrid, endearing and cozy, classical and comfortable. This wonderfully restored 17th-century posada (inn) is something of a local landmark. The atmosphere is formal, the decoration traditional (heavy timber and brickwork), and the cuisine decidedly local. With its roasting oven it specializes in traditional Spanish Castilian cuisine, such as Madrilenian cocido (meat and chickpea stew) cooked in ceramic pots over straw and holm oak ashes, and the roasted suckling lamb, prepared in ceramic pots in the old Arab oven. The restaurant is located in the historic center of Madrid within walking distance of the impressive Plaza Mayor.
