    Onze gids, Rocio, was erg stipt, en ze wist enorm veel te vertellen. Ze gaf ons leuke anekdotes, wist al onze vragen te beantwoorden en vertelde alles met af en toe een leuk grapje bij. Dit maakte alles heel luchtig en ontzettend boeiend om naar te luisteren. Heel interessant en leuk bezoek van het Koninklijk Paleis!
