Show answer and explanation

✓ En el Palacio de la Moncloa

The Prime Minister works and lives in the Palacio de la Moncloa, in Madrid. The Consejo de Ministros (the cabinet meeting) often meets there. The king lives in the Palacio de la Zarzuela, and the Palacio Real (Royal Palace) is used only for State ceremonies. Memorise this pair: Moncloa equals Prime Minister, Zarzuela equals the royal family. It is a very typical trap because the three names sound similar.
