Review & FAQ:
Found along the north coast of Spain, the Magdalena Peninsula can be found near the entrance to the Bay of Santander. It stretches for nearly 70 acres and is a popular recreational destination for both locals and tourists. You’ll find many things to see and do on the peninsula, including the cultural heritage site, Palacio de la Magdalena which is also on our list.
Other aspects include two stunning swimming beaches, a small zoo, a lighthouse, and gorgeous gardens near the palace. You can spend your time sunbathing or taking a dip on the beach, enjoying a picnic in the gardens, or taking the little ones to see the animals at the zoo. Map
