[Lifestyle] 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, 3 dressing rooms: the isolation of Begoña Gómez, in figures

[G h o s t l y.]

Pedro Sánchez's wife is one of the last infected by coronavirus, but without a doubt she will have no problems isolating herself completely in the Moncloa premises

This weekend, in the midst of the government's COVID-19 information rollout, the president's communication cabinet announced that Begoña Gómez, Pedro Sánchez's wife, was joining the group of those infected with coronavirus, which today already exceeds 8,700 cases. A news that filled society with uncertainty that, after the positives of the ministers Irene Montero and Carolina Darias after their participation in the 8-M demonstration, wondered how long it would take for the president to also become infected.

Health protocols have advised that all infected people isolate themselves in a room in their home (ideally with their own bathroom) and maintain a safe distance from all inhabitants in order to stop the spread of the virus. The Sánchez Gómez are not going to have problems for it, and Pedro, if he complies with the regulations of his Government, he would not have to be in danger.

To this day, the family remains secluded in the Palacio de la Moncloa, a neoclassical palace of more than 200 square meters of surface divided into as many rooms as you can imagine: eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms and three dressing rooms (areas that have constantly changing with the successive mandates), as well as the different offices and meeting rooms of Sánchez, lounges, living rooms and terraces. If they don't want to, they don't even need to cross the corridors. La Moncloa, as a complex, reaches 200 hectares, and the residence, in addition to 200 square meters, has as many others distributed in six private gardens, where both Sánchez and his two daughters can go out to play sports, walk and sunbathe , as we said, maintaining the safety distances provided in the protocols.

A 'visitable' palace
"Building built by Diego Méndez from 1949 to 1954 and neoclassical in style", these are the official data and something flat that you can find when you type 'Palacio de la Moncloa' on the internet. But this historic home, now occupied by Pedro Sánchez, is much more than that. Since its construction, much has been said about the residence of the Spanish president. A lot, depending on the party that leads and who speculates - of course - but the truth is that to date, no one outside the environment has been able to examine it from the inside.

There is already a public anxious to know what the case of the 'presi' smells like, a mansion subjected to an important transition period, after that motion of censure that separated Mariano Rajoy from his domain.
Requirements to enter? It is enough to register on the Moncloa website, when all this coronavirus happens, of course. Now, the question that the bulk of the public is asking is: is it really worth going to the vicinity of Ciudad Universitaria to gossip about the Sánchez Gómez hut? Will the private rooms be visible?

The stays that the PSOE leader has decided to show, in a clear movement of transparency and rapprochement with the people, are basically those that have to do with institutional events. Among these rooms, is the building of the Council of Ministers, a pavilion located right next to the residential palace where the president actually lives. This capacity attached to the house was ordered to be built by Felipe González and Carmen Romero, once the couple, together with their children, were overwhelmed in their personal space. The González couple, who to date have been the longest living in Moncloa (from 1982 to 1996), reduced to the maximum the 'official' rooms in their neoclassical case, leaving only and symbolically the president's office on the ground floor. come down from the palace. You will also be able to see on the tour the Secretary of State for Communication and the gardens of the huge complex, which have already been labeled as well of cultural interest thanks to the intervention of the artist Cecilio Rodríguez, responsible for the Sabatini Gardens or the Rosaleda del Retirement, at the beginning of the last century.
