"The Palace is Marivent and is located in Mallorca"
"Little Star, as I understand it the Palace of Marivent is on loan to the Spanish Royal Family for 99 years. I believe King JC "negotiated" this arrangement near the beginning of his reign -- although someone on this list might be able to give more specific details. Anyway, the "Palace" is actually a complex and on it's grounds contains houses for each of the royal children, with the Princes of Asturias having the second grandest house of the complex for their use."

Thank you fanletizia and Emily, I wish someone would loan me the use of a palace!

From El Mundo:

"Aunque oficialmente finalizan sus vacaciones mañana, los Reyes permanecerán en Palma de Mallorca hasta el próximo fin de semana, según confirmaron a Europa Press fuentes de la Zarzuela, y el próximo lunes serán recibidos en audiencia por el Papa Benedicto XVI en su residencia de verano de Castelgandolfo (Roma)".

So even though their holidays are over, the King and Queen will spend all this week in Palma and they will meet the Pope in Castelgandolfo next Monday.

I can’t help telling again how excellent Queen Sofía looks these days, but I also have to add that I really love Mrs. Zapatero’s style. She always knows how to make the perfect combination between the elegance and the discretion that all first ladies should show. Good for her.:)

Thanks for the link Elsa M. I was visiting Mallorca last week and the hotel I stayed in was in Cala Mayor and opposite the Marivent palace.(didn't realise until I got there):p All I could see was the huge wall surrounding it. But from my balcony I could see the grounds and all the security etc...
From the beach you could get a better view of the palace from the sea. It looked lovely!

Has anyone ever stayed in Cala Mayor near the palace or in Mallorca and seen the royals?

I've never stayed in Cala Mayor, the first time we were in Santa Ponca (pronounced Ponsa) and the second we stayed near Llucmajor. We drove through Cala Major I think, along the coastal road, so we probably went past the Marivent palace without even realising.

I would say that Cristina looks pretty great for someone who gave birth so recently. You can't expect that she would've been in perfect physical form so soon after giving birth to Irene. Plus a woman experiences many different hormonal effects post-pregnancy, especially during the first 4-6 weeks.

Give Cristina time. She will look gorgeous as ever soon enough. :)
