  • I am very interested in visiting the Palace at 7 Zurbano Street, currently owned by the Ministry of Public Works, I believe.
    I was living there in 1975, when the Marchioness of Casa Riera, mother of Queen Fabiola, lived, I was living as internal domestic service staff.
    I am 58 years old and I want to visit it with my family… Is it possible?
    Thank you, in advance, for your information.

  • In 2011 I was in Madrid and I wanted to visit the Sorolla museum but when we arrived we saw the stairs and since I use a wheelchair I couldn't go in despite how much my wife and I like Sorolla.
    Wouldn't it be possible to make a ramp of less than 15° to be able to enter with a wheelchair?
    I hope to return to Madrid and I would like to visit the Sorolla Museum.
