The grounds of Madrid's royal palace are a well-manicured garden dotted with sculptures and fountains, and in the evenings, the area is packed with people out strolling. I wandered through at sunset one night and made friends with an elderly Spaniard whose English was even worse than my Spanish, but he showed me around very enthusiastically and tried to tell me all about the kings and queens immortalized there. I don't think I understood more than a quarter of what he was trying to tell me (a *lot* about Ferdinand and Isabella) but we both had fun anyway.
