11. Private walking tour of the Peninsula and the Magdalene Palace
5.0· 1 reviews· 2 hoursEnjoy one of the most emblematic areas of Santander with a guide just for you and your family and friends. We show you an itinerary of the walking tour, which can be modified at your convenience. We will start the guided tour, getting to know the interior of Palacio de la Magdalena. We will tour the most important rooms on the main floor, which is the one that is open to the public and you can learn the history of the kings of Spain: Alfonso XIII and Victoria Eugenia, in their summers in Santander. Then we will tour the main points of interest of the Magdalene Peninsula, such as the open air museum: Man and the Sea, where you will know “The Raft” by explorer and adventurer Vital Alsar and the galleons who crossed the Atlantic imitating the route of Francisco de Orellana. We will visit the mini zoo and its sea lions, seals and Cape penguins, as well as the Royal Stables, which are currently facilities of the Menendez Pelayo International University.
22. Self Guided Santander Scavenger Hunt
4.0· 7 reviews· 2 hoursThis activity has been designed by a local ‘expert’, who has created a fun experience that takes you to some of the town’s highlights and the lesser-known places, away from all the tourists. The puzzles are designed to help you experience the place from a different perspective – using landmarks, murals, statues etc - and you’ll even learn some ‘fun facts’ along the way. The self-guided aspect of this activity means that you can rush through as fast as you like or stop for a drink or something to eat as you like. The app remembers your progress and even allows you to complete your Adventure Hunt another day. This activity aims to strike a fun balance between challenging puzzles, a fun outing with friends and family, and a pleasant walk around outside.
