Show answer and explanation
✓ En el Palacio de la Zarzuela
The king's residence is the Palacio de la Zarzuela, on the outskirts of Madrid. The Palacio Real (Royal Palace) is used for official events and is not the home of the royal family. La Moncloa, on the other hand, is the seat of the Prime Minister. Cibeles is the seat of the ayuntamiento (town council) of Madrid. Trick: Zarzuela equals king, Moncloa equals Prime Minister, and not the other way round.
