It's like this... you visit Cervante's monument and continue walking to the Jardines de Sabatini. NICE spot! And the pedestrian zone starts... to your right: Palacio Real!
:-)...the crowds of people, sitting in the green grass just opposite of the Royal Palace, reading a book (or the visitors reading one of the many Madrid-guides). The magnitud of the architecture excites you and yet, the tranquillity of the atmosphere relaxes you.
