Santander Magdalena Train Experience

The **City Sightseeing Santander** train starts its journey at the entrance to the **La Magdalena peninsula**. From there, it travels along the peninsula, through pleasant countryside. The included Spanish audio guide describes places it passes through and the history of the **Magdalena Palace**, which is the train’s destination at the top of the hill. \ The Palace was built in the early 19th century for the **Spanish Royal family** and funded by popular subscription. Its location on the stunning Magdalena peninsula couldn’t be better. The views over the **beaches of El Sardinero**, Mouro Island and the Cantabrian Sea are **simply stunning**. During high season, there’s a short guided tour of the outside of the palace and its surroundings, where you’ll be able to learn more about its **fascinating story**. \ As the train returns every 15 to 20 minutes, you’ll be able to take your time **enjoying the delights** of the palace and the peninsula before heading back to the first stop. On the way down, the train passes **three spectacular galleons** of the Museo El Hombre Y La Mar and the mini-zoo.
