Plaza de Oriente
It's the central square I steer towards with a stroller — no cars, room to toddle, and the palace makes it feel like an outing without any effort.
A grand, traffic-free square between the Royal Palace and the opera, with statues of kings, hedged gardens and fountains — flat, open and pram-friendly, right in the centre.
