Magdalena Peninsula, Peninsula with royal palace in Santander, Spain
The Magdalena Peninsula extends into the Bay of Santander, featuring walking paths, beaches, and rich vegetation across its 25 hectares of land.
The peninsula served as a military defense point until the early 20th century, when the construction of the royal summer palace transformed its purpose.
The royal stables hosted theatrical performances directed by Federico Garcia Lorca during three consecutive summers in the 1930s with notable intellectual audiences.
Visitors can access the peninsula grounds from 8 AM to 10 PM without vehicle entry, offering multiple walking paths and connections to Magdalena and Bikini beaches.
Archaeological discoveries on the peninsula confirm Roman settlement dating to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, mentioned by Pliny the Elder as Portus Victoriae.
