Parque de La Magdalena, Municipal park in Santander, Spain
The Magdalena Park extends across 25,000 square meters around the Royal Palace, featuring paths with views of the Cantabrian Sea and El Sardinero beach.
The area remained empty until the late 1800s, containing only a hermitage dedicated to Saint Magdalena and a defensive castle overlooking the bay.
The park maintains a small zoo section on the northern cliffs where visitors can observe seals, penguins, and sea lions in their designated spaces.
The park operates daily from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with free entry and multiple access points connected to public transportation routes.
The site displays historical galleons from Vital Alsar, a Santander sailor, along with maritime exhibits that represent the naval heritage of the region.
