A raíz de mi visita a la expo de la Latina en Casa de America, me picó la curiosidad de conocer un poco mas de esta sede y realice una visita guiada a este magnífico palacio. El guía muy atento y bien preparado. De seguro repetiré pues abundó en anécdotas en cada salón. Vale la pena .

Uno de los palacios más bonitos de Madrid. Muy interesante la visita con un guía muy amable. Visitamos cada estancia del Palacio y nos contaba detalles y curiosidades de los salones, las habitaciones, la capilla, etc. Son impresionantes las pinturas en los techos de cada estancia, las lámparas, la escalinata en la entrada, la Capilla es una pequeña joya con una Inmaculada divina. El comedor y el Salón de baile son una maravilla y el despacho del Marqués también. Me llamó mucho la atención la Casa de Muñecas de Raimundita, construida por un arquitecto belga, no se visita pero tiene algo especial. La atmósfera en el interior del Palacio es tranquila y llena de tesoros por descubrir. Las entradas se adquieren presencialmente y sólo hay visitas guiadas los viernes, sábados y domingos en tres pases por la mañana. Después de tantos años queriendo ir, al final encantada con la visita.
