Real Palacio de la Magdalena

The palace is something that the locals are proud of. For me… well, it was a lot of nothing as far as I was concerned.
We went on the tour — me and a few Spanish/​local friends. The tour was only in English but I did get the gist of it and what I didn’t, my friends explained. Well, the guide was pretty boring and mundane as they told me. Also, there wasn’t much to see. We went into a couple rooms downstairs and also upstairs. Most of the rooms that we did see were just conference rooms. Nothing special. I’ve been in better conference rooms.
The king, who was given the palace by the people of Santander (well, not him but his grandfather or some older king), only comes to use it maybe one weekend a year. Waste of time/​money.
It is more impressive from the outside and of course being on the ocean, is in a great location.

We didn’t get to visit the interior of the palace as there were events on for the world sailing championships– I think the king are there that night. However the grounds make for a lovely stroll with great views across both bays and beaches in Santander.
We walked from the centre of Santander towards sardinero along the seafront and we really enjoyed the views and the walk.

Lugar donde me encuentro alojada, de aqui para una semana… Pertenece a la UIMP, para sus cursos de verano que tienen su sede aqui ofertan varios lugares donde alojarse a la gente, entre ellos el palacio que desde mi punto de vista es la mejor opcion porque estas en el mismo sitio y no tienes que pasearte! Los desayunos estan genial a 2’73 € y las comidas 7’71 € muy sanas y equilibradas. El
Desayuno es el propio de un hotel, con todo lo que conlleva! Las cenas aun no las he probado… Lujo no tiene demasiado pero me enamora mi habitacion, las vistas al mar, me enamora todo!!! Esta genial y sin duda todos los veranos intentare venir!!! Es magnifico!
