PALACIO REAL DE LA MAGDALENA
A royal palace, English and French style, hosting a summer university on the Magdalena peninsula.
This English and French style palace was inaugurated in 1912 for the royal family and later transformed into a university. In 1908, the Santander City Council gave King Alfonso XIII and his wife Victoria Eugenia the Magdalena peninsula to build a royal summer palace, which the royal couple used as a holiday resort between 1913 and 1930. In 1932, the government approved the creation of the Menendez Pelayo University. Today, it is one of the largest summer universities in Europe.

Le Palais est superbe mais hélas difficile à visiter (prendre rdv sur le net ou tel).
