The staff were friendly and nice. Location was ok – in the centre of medina. Room description: dark, ugly, with a smelly bathroom which looks like a prison. The bed was too soft, I had a back pain after sleeping on it. If you don’t care about this and your main purpose is to save some money on accommodation – book it. Maybe you can handle 1-2 nights. Small breakfast in the terrace with a view included.

The hotel was a traditional Hotel. The rooms was ok , clean and warm. The only problem was the outside toilet. Difficult through the night or for shower.. The hotel was in the centre of the old town Medina. For me too much traffic and noise but i didn't know about the life rhythms in the old town. The breakfast was basic but the choices of bread really good ! The staff was really very kind and helpful ! Was a nice stay in a good price.

Good location, kind and attentive staff, good and plentiful breakfast on the terrace. Rooms are okay - clean and affordable. Only issue really was we were in the room adjacent to the lobby and the first floor above the Medina alley, so it was quite noisy.

The rooms are just average. If you are a light sleeper. The doors are thin. Could hear everything outside the room. I did not sleep properly. The staff is amazing. Kindest people.

Perfectly located , nice and clean rooms. Kind and always helpful service. Good breakfast with fresh bakeries.

Nice, big room. Clean and well appointed. Fantastic rooftop terrace. Would stay again.

If you want an authentic, spotlessly clean hotel in a prime location 👌 the Tanger Medina is perfect for you. Nothing is too much trouble for the amazing staff. They are so special and kind. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace. It will take your breath away. Soothing background music and delicious fresh food and spectacular views of the Casbah and to the harbour. We are hoping to return one day 🙏 Right in the heart of the medina and the atmosphere is pure Tangiers.

Favourite beach for surfing

Amazing big space, wild with lots of restaurants and places on the back

Beautiful beach with plenty of surf schools. Beginner friendly waves and plenty of space for everyone

Beautiful beach with optimal circumstances for surfing 🏄‍♂️

Amazing

Very nice beach, amazing scenery and great surf and weather (December)

Best beach ever , huge and with great swell during winter

The beach is really nice, there is some places to enjoy a drink or explore local food but the most interesting is the white sand and the blue water, I really enjoyed my time there and I will come back.

By far the best beach we visited near Cádiz! The sea was a bit wavy but so much fun to swim in. The water temperature was just perfect – not too cold, not too warm. The coastline is long and peaceful, with a really relaxing vibe

Amazing, smooth sand, sea temperature in October was better than expected, several nice chirinquitos around. Free parking in october and accessibility

Amazing beach, very clean with excellent facilities. ( Great for sunsets too 😉 )

The most wonderful beach, especially for children as it slopes so gently. It is quite windy so lots of waves but i seriously suggest long hair is tied back or it will be stuck to your sun lotioned face and lip balm. Glorious sunsets here too. We went in October, the sea was warm and the beach almost deserted. Perfect. Excellent free parking and small play areas dotted about.

me encata

One of the best beaches I’ve been to

Our tour took us to the breathtaking Saint Michael's Cave, and what an experience it was! The cave itself was stunning, filled with mood lighting and enchanting music that truly showcased nature's beauty. While I had anticipated a more extensive cave system, the atmosphere was still captivating.

The caves are not easy to get to and usually require a bus trip to get to. I must say the effort is worth it. Though the area accessible to the public is not large, it is really beautiful. The lights and music set off these limestone formations wonderfully. The stalactites and stalagmites have formed amazing shapes over thousands of years. Of the all the formations the St Michael image is the most sticking and best seen when the lighting reveals the image. The amphitheater is great and I believe there are concerts held in the caves. A great place to visit.

Really amazing cave in some places I would argue the lighting takes away from the natural beauty. The light show is great but don't expect any info on the cave at this point. Definitely worth a visit, stunning natural structures.

So beautiful! Its cool inside, not too hot or cold - just perfect. Every so often there are colourful lights flashing onto the walls of the cave making them look beautiful, as well as showing the area that is meant to look like Saint Michael better. (Included image). There is an area with a bunch of chairs where you can watch a little show of lights on the cave walls every seven minutes. There is a few stairs so wouldn't recommended someone with limited mobility to go however there is a wheelchair lift available to the show area.

It was a really nice experience. The light installations are pretty and effective. There is a small area with chairs for concerts. The acoustic must be amazing. Sadly we had no time for a concert there. 😊

Amazing cave full of impressive stalactites and stalagmites, with spectacular lighting that makes the visit even more magical. The auditorium inside is unique and adds a special touch. A must-see if you visit the Rock of Gibraltar.

We’re visiting from Romania. Absolutely stunning! The cave is magical with its lights and atmosphere, a true must-see in Gibraltar. They even host concerts here, which makes it even more special. Unique experience, highly recommend!

Great experience! We saw the monkeys, enjoyed the stunning views, and it was totally worth it. We booked tickets in advance, it's a must, otherwise you waste hours in line in a hot weather. Beautiful place, definitely recommend! 🐒🌍

Offers great views all the way to Africa. Cable car takes you to the top in only 6-7 minutes. Up there you can see wild monkeys.

Visiting the Rock of Gibraltar was such a memorable experience. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking — unfortunately it was a bit foggy on the day we were visiting the Rock. The famous monkeys are definitely the stars of the show. They’re playful, curious, and not afraid to get close (so hold on to your snacks!). The hike to the top is amazing — you pass so many interesting spots along the way and the scenery just keeps getting better the higher you go. It’s a perfect mix of nature, history, and adventure.

Best Way to Enjoy It (SAVE MONEY! AVOID CABLE CAR!) This is the best and cheapest way to do it! First things first — avoid the cable car! It’s expensive and you’ll miss out on the full adventure. Instead, start your journey from the Union Jack Steps / Straits and walk up. The route is scenic and full of incredible viewpoints. When you reach the first main point called Devil’s Gap, you’ll find the Nature Reserve entrance. Here you only need to buy one ticket for around £30 & THAT’S ALL YOU HAVE TO PAY! Don’t waste extra money elsewhere! That single ticket includes access to all the top attractions: • The Suspension Bridge • The St. Michael’s Cave (absolutely breathtaking — don’t miss it!) • The Skywalk • And several other amazing viewpoints along the way You can walk in a circular route around the Rock, which takes about 3–4 hours, or take a shorter 1–2 hour route straight to the top, there are multiple paths, so you can choose based on your time and energy. And yes, you’ll definitely see the famous MONKEYS! 🐒 They’re fun to watch but don’t feed them and keep your distance, they can get curious and might try to grab your stuff! If you can, stay until sunset, the view is unforgettable. You can even see Africa across the sea on a clear day! 🌅 Honestly, this hike is worth every step, don’t waste your money on the cable car. Get the real experience by climbing the Rock yourself! the views, the nature, and the sense of achievement are unbeatable!

What a beautiful place to visit, stunning views and the monkeys are so lovely. Nice cafe at the top, and plenty to see. We walked down and went in the tunnels as well. My issue is the amount of taxis piled up waiting. At one point there were at least 30!! You end up spending your time avoiding being run over as they don’t care and act like they own the place. One beeped his horn at me and I was nowhere near in his way. I think that amount of taxis ruins the experience.

We loved Gibraltar :) There is a lot to visit here - for example, viewpoints with monkeys, caves, military tunnels, a castle and much more. The trip is for the whole day. I recommend visiting! :)

We recently spent the day at the Rock of Gibraltar and it did not disappoint! We travelled up the rock using the cable car and walked back down. The ride up took around 4 minutes and offered fantastic views. The walking descent allowed us explore the nature reserve and its attractions at our own pace and had some brilliant sights along the way too (but beware of the aching legs the next day!). A Nature Reserve ticket is a must and gave us access to key attractions like St. Michael's Cave and the historic Great Siege Tunnels. You can buy this ticket online or in person at the Cable Car ticket office; the price was the same either way. Throughout our walk, we also found various cafes, gift shops, and plenty of toilet facilities. This allowed us to comfortably spend the entire day on the rock. The views were incredible, stretching out over the sea and into Africa. Be mindful of the Barbary macaques but we found that left alone (and away from food), they were no trouble.

Nice cathedral in colonial style. The entry ticket costs 10€, a bit expensive but I recommend to visit inside. Outside there are many restaurants, i consider them more touristic places and I suggest to just walk few meters and you can find more choices and less touristic.

Very recommended. Do not miss it:) Beautiful cathedral with interesting architecture and history. It has a large grotto ( including a mummy of a maiden in incredibly good condition!). The entry includes headphones tour guide, entry to the church tower where you can take a panoramic look at the city from above, the tower is relatively easy to climb as it hardly has any stairs! The ticket price also covers the museum (a bit away from the cathedral but closes at 16:00!) On the square before the cathedral there are a couple of coffee-bars and an ice cream shop which are open daytime (unlike the restaurants which open mostly later than 20:00) and a rooftop bar which opens only in the evening. The drinks and food prices are normal and very convenient for a main square shop - unlike most European cities:) I got my entry ticket on the spot but it can also be purchased online in advance.

Cádiz Cathedral is a very impressive and monumental building, uniquely placed so close to the sea and is beautiful both inside and out. The views of the city from the bell tower are spectacular and the crypt is not to be missed. The first time we were there the Christmas Crib was still in place and it was stunning. My favourite part are the two angles on both sides. Lots of good artwork and the silver on display is amazing.

While on RCCL Explorer OTS Transatlantic West 2025 we stopped at Cadiz. It was an easy and fun port for sightseeing and walking. It you like old architecture and history the Cathedral is a must visit. There is also a Jesuit church nearby that is 0 KM of the El Camino de Santiago route from the southwest of Spain. Lots of history to explore. We enjoyed the musicians that performed in front of the cathedral.

We stopped in Cadiz while on a long cruise from Lisbon. We spent the day walking around the old city center just exploring. Lots to see here. Today was marathon day in Cadiz so every place we went was very crowded. The cathedral is beautiful on the outside. Unfortunately we were unable to enter the church due to the marathon and crowds. We sat at a cafe in front of the cathedral and just enjoyed all the happenings.

So beautiful! We climbed the bell tower and got the best views! The square was so pretty and not too crowded, had a sangria at a café outdoors in the square. So enjoyable!

Magnificant view at top of clock Tower, but you need to climb about 7 storey of spiral slope. Worth the effort. Beware of deafening sound from the tower bells!

Great tour around the premies of Bodega Tio Pepe and the González Byass Sherry house. Started with a train ride around the park and buildings and then a guided tour in a lot of the historical buildings of the wine yard. We ended with a Sherry tasting with some small tapas. I recommend the large package to experience it all, it was so interesting. In the end you passing thru the gift shops with the full sherry assortment and more. I would definitely come back if I’m visiting Jerez again.

Our visit to Bodega Tio Pepe was an unforgettable experience! As soon as we stepped inside, we were enveloped by the rich aromas of aging wine and the sight of countless barrels lined up, each telling its own story. The sheer scale of the bodega was impressive, and it was fascinating to learn about the traditional process of sherry production. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing insights about the history of Tio Pepe and the unique characteristics of their wines. Walking through the barrel room felt like stepping back in time, and we loved hearing about the craftsmanship that goes into each bottle. The highlight of the tour was definitely the tasting session. Sampling the different sherries was a treat, and we appreciated how the guide explained the nuances of each variety. The pairing with local tapas was a delightful touch, enhancing the flavors and creating a perfect pairing experience. Overall, our time at Bodega Tio Pepe was both educational and enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it easy to relax and soak in the experience. I highly recommend this visit to anyone who enjoys wine or wants to learn more about sherry in a beautiful setting!

I don't understand why some people have given such negative reviews. I suspect they are just grumpy folk with a short fuse. Our couple of hours were great. Started off with a little train ride (actually bus pulling mini wagons, but still cute) around the grounds (a huge plot they own in the centre of town next to the cathedral) (I have given 4* instead of 5* as I would have preferred to stroll around the wonderfully ornate gardens on my own, at my own pace, but this isn't an option thus remove 1*). Then a little walking tour through the old factory and storage rooms. Our guide was gentle and informative. Ending up with the tasting of 4 different sherries. I would recommend the max tasting package. For the extra €5 you get two extra glasses of sherry, well worth it IMHO. All in all, a great way to get gently pickled and taste some great drinks.

Didn't try any other Bodega Tours but maybe should have done a bit more research. Maybe it was our guide but didn't feel as though we learnt much about the why or how of Sherry production. Also thought the 'tapas' represented very poor value in a city of great Tapas. €100 for a family of 4 (obviously no Sherry for the kids) seemed a lot

A very interesting tour in a very impressive bodega steeped in history. We bought a tour and a tasting (with 4 wines, but no food package). Firstly, the good stuff: lots of history, lovely environment, very interesting tour guide who was clearly passionate about the history of Tio Pepe/GB. Now the not so good: As many reviews have pointed out, the tour groups are simply too big. You feel like cattle being shunted around. Whilst the bodega has lots of ambience, the tasting area feels like a laboratory! It's bright, even stark. Plain white tables and chairs. Everyone (and there is a mass of people) is pushed together. It feels very impersonal, more like a production line. If you don't order the food package, you get absolutely nothing with your sherry tasting. Not even a tiny packet of bread snacks. I thought that was pretty poor. Many people did order food, and from what I could see, it didn't look that great. There seemed to be quite a bit left on the serving plates as we left. Afterwards, we went to a nearby bar, full of ambience and locals, and had great tapas. So, all in all, a nice tour, but it could have been so much better. We are going to another tour tomorrow at a much smaller, less commercial bodega. My hopes are high and my fingers crossed...

First off, we bought a tour that included sherry tasting and tapas. The tour was interesting and informative but Tio Pepe are capitalising on the tourist market and there were FAR too many people booked on the tours going on in parallel in different languages. Killing the goose that lays the golden egg is probably close to the truth. As many have said here, and I should have listened to them, the tapas option isn't worth bothering with. Better to have a meal in a good tapas place once you've finished the tour. In summary: informative & interesting, too many people booked in, sherry tasting - yep - gives you a different perspective on sherry, tapas - don't bother. Might want to try another bodegas that is less busy?

The tours are excellent, friendly helpful guides. Suggest buying the 4 wine tasting as it's worth the money. Our guide was amazing, however to be 5 stars they could reduce tour sizes (30 per group) so they could attend to the tasting better and be a bit less rushed.

This a beautiful town, superbly maintained and kept to what seems its traditional heritage. The different coloured flowers on each street add to its charm and the number of pavement cafes and restaurants make it a place to easily linger. A walk along the promenade to the port will take you past beachside eateries and bars to a spot where on the right day there’s a lively market, on the hill above which is the bull ring. Very well worth a visit.

Charming town. Very nice place to wander about for an afternoon.

A really nice cozy place to be in all year long mostly. There’s a lot of restaurants and bars to choose from. Plus you can walk to the beach boulevard and have a very nice walk by the beach.

Very nice for a walk. I am pretty sure is very crowded during season, but the houses are nice

Very nice town

Nice place to walk with family Try to be here before 8 to find parking easier

You should visit this place

This is a very impressive bridge! We paid 5 Euros to go down into the room inside the bridge and thought that was a very cool experience. Outside, it is a bit difficult to get a really good view of the bridge without getting a bit far away from it (you need more than the hour or so that we had), but we still enjoyed the views, especially the scenic views looking out at the cliffs and valleys below. Worth a visit, especially if you have time to explore a bit farther back from the bridge!

The bridge is amazing and home to very nice views. What they don't tell you is that it is in use and very busy with cars. But still, there are vantage points so you can take great pictures. There is also a payed experience that lets you in a certain part of the bridge and it was nice to feel a bit of fresh air. I cannot really recommend the payed experience, sure at 2,50 euros is not expensive but there isn't much to see.

Beautiful views ❤️. And near the bridge you can find many souvenir shops and restaurants. The Fotos where great 👍, I recommend 💯

1 hour 30 minutes from Marbella it's worth going for the puento nuevo bridge over the gorge. I spent 3 hours there and that was just right. Very touristy however it's a lovely town and a good day out for a group and if you sit and eat/drink then you will need about 5 hours. So it's a worthwhile day out.

An absolutely breathtaking landmark! Puente Nuevo in Ronda is truly a masterpiece of architecture and nature combined. The views from the bridge are simply stunning, especially with the dramatic gorge and surrounding cliffs. It’s one of those places that leaves you speechless and makes you appreciate the blend of history and natural beauty. A must-see if you’re anywhere near Ronda — unforgettable and iconic.

Perched above the breathtaking El Tajo gorge, Ronda is a stunning city in southern Spain. Its iconic Puente Nuevo bridge offers breathtaking views, while the Aldehuela Viewpoint. It provide panoramic vistas of the city and its surroundings. Explore the historic old town, visit the Plaza de Toros, and enjoy the serene Alameda del Tajo Gardens. Ronda’s unique blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty makes it a must-visit destination.

Lovely place to see ,the gorges and ravine and the landscape .You can walk down via the stairs (5euros I think) but we did not.

Visiting the Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda was one of the highlights of our trip. Even if you’re not a fan of bullfighting, the place is worth seeing for its history and architecture. Standing in the middle of the arena feels surreal, and the museum collections with costumes, saddles and antique weapons are really impressive. Easy to visit, and right in the heart of Ronda’s old town, definitely a stop we recommend. Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴🐾

Amazing bull fighting arena. Loved it. People might say it was cruel, but probably not crueler than hundreds of thousands of bovine being cut up for food every day. It’s all in perspective, entertaining the masses. Must visit place to go.

Nice little tour on the oldest bullring of Spain. Advice: take the audio guide so you’ll get really interesting history facts that you wouldn’t get. Visit is about 1h, and ok with kids.

Great experience. Very rich and interesting history. The museum is very interesting. Bull fighting isn't exactly a good thing (in my opinion it's a bit cruel) however the experience was amazing and it is an important part of their history. The ring was also used as an army base by either side during the Spanish Civil war.

I thought it was worth a visit. We brought sandwiches and sat in the bleachers and ate them while checking out the arena and doing some tourist watching. Cool to see and oldest in Spain!

Beautiful Bullring. Probably the oldest and best renovated in Spain. It has a museum and gift shop. A definite must visit when in Ronda.

One of the first bullfighting arenas built in Spain. Large and impressive. Recommended if you are visiting the city.

The amounts spent on these construction projects are just mind-blowing. And when you remember how many people lost their health or even died there, it gets uncomfortable. 1. Tourists today admire the marble, the gold, the columns—but for someone, all this cost a life. Nobody remembers the names of the workers, though nothing would exist without them. 2. Sometimes I look at these buildings and think: was all this beauty really worth those sacrifices? For some, it’s a symbol of the nation, but for others, it’s years and strength lost. Honestly, I’m always a bit envious of the architects of that time—to plan something on this scale takes real talent. But at the same time, I feel for those who paid for this “eternity” with their health. I can’t feel just one way about it. The architecture is impressive, but the price was enormous. Sometimes you look at a cathedral and realize there’s a heavy shadow behind all that beauty. What about you? Can you just admire places like these, or do you also think about the price?

Sept 2025. Wow! Time was lost as soon as we arrived. Spent a good part of the day just cruising around this gorgeous place and beautiful parks surrounding it. Was easy to walk around, not hoards of tourists (even though i was one haha). The water and bright green flora just popped colour against the majestic architectural marvel that commands its prescence in a humongous semicircle. There are 52 mosaics with tiles representing each province (i didnt count them to check ok). The beautiful Vicente Traver Fountain is in the centre with bridges crossing the canal, good photo opportunities!! It was also a back drop for Star Wars II. Cool. Rent a boat and bob around the small canals for something a bit different, you may spot some fish swimming happily underneath and ducks nurturing their babies, cute as. Part of the building is used by government institutions too. There were some VERY talented musicians playing underneath/amongst the super grand stairways leading up to some great viewpoints. And when you're done with all the beauty of this place, you can check out a couple of stalls out the front, then walk and embark on another adventure, the grand parks and grounds surrounding this place emersed with its own history and beauty. Great place for fitness and many people running, cycling, walking and chilling. My advice, don't skip this place, its a feast for the soul ;)

Oh my goodness. This is an absolute must to see. Worth coming to Seville just to see this. It's absolutely stunning and photos cannot do it justice. As you walk around it, you get to see yet another photo you just have to take. Can't recommend this more. Also, next to it resides a stunning park with lots of interesting structures or features interspersed within it. I recommend doing a zigzag walk through it to find them all. Made for a very satesfying day

Visited Plaza de España in Seville early in the morning in October 2025 to beat the crowds. Built in the 1920s, it features stunning semi-circular architecture blending Spanish Renaissance and Moorish styles, with colorful tiles, fountains, canals, and ornate bridges—truly a photogenic and iconic landmark. When we visited, the canal was dry, but when filled, visitors can row boats along the curved canal for a unique view of the bridges and colonnades. Horse-drawn carriage rides around the plaza and nearby Parque de María Luisa offer a classic, leisurely way to explore the area. We also saw a couple of locals selling souvenirs on the ground. A must-see when visiting Seville!

Loved this Planet Naboo scenery in Seville (Star Wars fan here). It is breathtakingly beautiful and one rarely gets to see something of this scale in real-life. It is simply majestic to visit.

The Plaza de España is one of the most beautiful squares I have ever seen. The majestic central palace blends seamlessly with the serene water canal, creating a truly breathtaking scene. In front of the square, there is a charming garden that adds even more to the beauty of the place. You can also admire the detailed mosaics, each one depicting the history of a different Spanish city—a wonderful way to explore the country’s heritage in one spot. Best of all, the entrance is free, and I highly recommend visiting if you come to Seville.

Magnificent! A simply amazing place to visit. Nobody wouldn't like the beautiful architectures and the smart designs. It really deserves the name of "Plaza de España", it truly shows how grand an empire was and how brilliant the people were. Visited twice, both in the morning and the evening, and both breathtakingly beautiful. I really like the fountain, not a big fan of the horse carts though. In general really a landmark and nice place you wouldn't want to miss when in Seville.

Make sure you book at least one to two weeks in advance — it fills up fast, and with good reason. The Alcázar is absolutely breathtaking. The detail in the architecture is something else — arches, tiles, carvings, gardens… it’s a living masterpiece. The Mudejar style (that blend of Islamic and Christian design) gives it such a layered, soulful feel. You can really feel the history here — not just see it. We decided to book the 8:30am VIP tour with GetYourGuide, and it was one of the best decisions of our trip. No queues, no chaos — we were inside before the heat and the crowds. Anna, our guide, was phenomenal. So passionate, informed, and completely in love with the place — her energy brought it all to life. Worth every single cent. Go early, go with a guide, and take it all in slowly.

The Royal Alcazar of Seville is a beautiful palace & garden in the centre of the historic old town centre of Seville. Architecture & art from the 11th century are on display - from the Andalusian era, Gothic from the time of Alfonso X, & Mudejar from the time of Pedro I. The carved plaster & stone wall friezes, colourful geometric wall tiles, & Mudejar painted & copper covered mahogany wooden ceilings are exquisite. The formal gardens are extensive & offer glimpses of water pools & fountains, amongst trees & sculptured hedges. Booking in advance is essential, & allow up to 3 hours for the visit. There is a really nice cafe in the garden, serving drinks, cakes, & light snacks, & this is reasonably priced. This is a world heritage site for good reason - this is truly a world class historic attraction. 10/10.

We spent an entire afternoon visiting this his historic royal palace. We enjoyed meandering through the rooms and admiring the art and architecture. The gardens outside were so beautiful and offered additional views of the exterior architecture. We walked, sat, and admired the beauty all around us.

Honestly, the place is pure magic. I’ve seen countless pictures, but nothing prepared me for how breathtaking it is in person. The sheer amount of detail in the architecture is incredible, and you can see so much history in the different styles. The gardens are a whole other level—they're huge and so beautiful, with hidden corners and fountains everywhere. It’s the perfect escape from the city heat. I could have happily spent the entire day just wandering through them. My biggest recommendation, especially if you're visiting in the summer, is to pre-book your tickets online. Seriously, don't even think about showing up to buy them on the day. The lines can be absolutely brutal, and you'll spend a ton of time waiting in the heat. Booking online gets you a specific time slot and lets you skip the main queue, so you can head straight to security and start exploring right away. It's the best way to make sure you get in and make the most of your visit without any stress.

Amazing palace and gardens. Don't just go there during the day. The light show Naturaleza Encendida in the evenings (Oct till March, I think) is well worth the separate ticket too (dress well, it's much more chilly inside the gardens than outside in the streets).

Nice building. Beautiful architecture and gardens. Everything is beautiful, but I wasn't blown away by it. I'm not sure why, and think it's either personal preference or my mood that day. I wish more places included arrows or maps because we nearly missed a lot of what there is to see.

Interesting to see a castle transition from Muslim to Christian nobility. Very few people venture far into the gardens, so peaceful. While the tickets are timed, you can show up to 30 minutes after the selected time. If after your selected time, you can just walk in without the line. The free audio guide is good, although you have to skip through advertising for the paid version.

The Cathedral of Seville is an architectural wonder that perfectly captures the layered history of the city. Built on the site of an old Almohad mosque, it still preserves traces of its Islamic past, especially in the Patio de los Naranjos, where orange trees line the courtyard once used for ablution before prayer. The blending of Gothic grandeur with remnants of Moorish design gives the cathedral a unique identity that reflects centuries of cultural transformation. Inside, the scale and beauty are breathtaking. The golden main altar is one of the most impressive in the world, covered in intricate carvings that seem to glow under the light. The Giralda Tower, originally a minaret, remains a stunning symbol of Islamic architectural genius, and climbing it rewards you with panoramic views over Seville. The tomb of Christopher Columbus adds a fascinating historical dimension, connecting Seville to the broader story of exploration and empire. This visit was smooth and enjoyable. I bought my ticket online, and it was very affordable. I even entered before my designated time slot without any issue. The atmosphere at the entrance was more relaxed compared to other major landmarks. My friend who lives in Seville was able to enter for free at any time without a designated time slot.

We visited the Cathedral of Virgin Mary, popularly known as the Cathedral de Sevilla as a part of a small group guided tour. The guide Martha was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. The cathedral itself has much signs of Islamic influence when compared to its counterpart in Cordoba. But its a stunning structure nonetheless & covers a huge area. The golden altar, the magnificent choir, the tomb of Christopher Columbus, his son and the famed Bell Tower, Giralda were some of the highlights. I would highly recommend this attraction to visitors to this beautiful city.

Very lovely cathedral with lots to read about ! You do need to be modest to enter, no exposed shoulders or knees. They do give out blue shawls you can buy before entering so you are not denied entry. You can go to the top of the bell tower which is about 40 or more flights up, but it is a ramp not stairs. Very worth it though ! There’s pockets of balconies you can sit along the way up too. It is in the city in a lovely part of of town, so you can visit other places as well.

Greatly enjoyed Seville and booked our tour through Get your Guide(small group, English speaking)our guide was very user friendly, knowledgeable and professional. There were many tours going on, but we never stalled out waiting to get in or waiting to get into a specific room, she knew her stuff and timed our coming and going appropriately. Worth every penny!

An absolutely magnificent cathedral — truly breathtaking in size, detail, and history. The interior is stunning, with beautiful altars, artwork, and impressive architecture throughout. Climbing the Giralda Tower is a must — the views over Seville are incredible and worth every step. Everything was well organized, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A masterpiece of Gothic design and one of the most memorable landmarks in Spain. Highly recommend visiting!

Seville Cathedral is breathtaking — its sheer size and intricate details leave you in awe. The views from La Giralda tower make the climb completely worth it. Tickets are reasonably priced, but it’s best to book online in advance to skip the long queues. The combo ticket with La Giralda tower access is definitely worth it for the full experience.

Seville Cathedral left me absolutely awestruck. It’s vast, luminous, and genuinely majestic—every corner feels steeped in history and craftsmanship. The soaring Gothic vaults make you lose your sense of scale, and the details—from the carved choir to the side chapels—are mesmerizing. Do not skip La Giralda. It’s a must to buy tickets that include the tower so you can see Seville from a true bird’s-eye view—the panorama is unforgettable and worth every step. Visitor flow is well organized, signage is clear, and even with crowds it feels calm inside. If you have time, grab the audio guide; it brings the art and architecture to life with great context. Bottom line: an absolute must-visit in Seville. Powerful, moving, and unforgettable. I highly recommend it.##HistoryShorts

Legendary building in Sevilla This is a beautiful tower in Andalusia. Part of the BIG 3 you have to do, with the Mezquita, the Giralda and obviously l'Alhambra. The Giralda is a beautiful tower sitting right in the town centre or the old town. It is a fabulous building and looks really grand. It can obviously be visited but you really need to book for this like most impressive sites in Spain. Highly recommended we really enjoyed it!

We visited on a weekday afternoon and had to line up several times — first to get in, then again for audio guides, and finally to enter La Giralda. The tower is well laid out, with around 35 ramps and rest stops along the way for those who need them. Most people should be able to make the climb without too much trouble. However, it was extremely crowded. The path is narrow, so you go up and down in a single file, often shoulder to shoulder with others. Once at the top, you line up again just to get a view out of each window, and there are fences that make it hard to get a clear look. There didn’t seem to be any real crowd control at the top, which really took away from the experience. If you’re claustrophobic, I’d skip this part. There are plenty of other great spots in Seville to see panoramic views of the city. The cathedral itself was much more enjoyable — there were clear signs and pamphlets explaining the art and architecture. That said, unless you get the audio guide, there’s not much context provided about the tower itself.

La Giralda is a former Muslim minaret transformed into a church bell tower, symbolizing the fascinating transition from one culture to another. The construction itself is magnificent, a true masterpiece of architecture. Be prepared for a bit of a workout—the climb to the top can be challenging, but it’s absolutely worth it. The panoramic views of Seville from above are breathtaking. I highly recommend this unforgettable experience.

The area encompassing the open area next to the Seville Cathedral and surroundings. The history is amazing. There is a large sistern below the outdoor open area enclosed by the walls of the Giralda. This was essential for providing clean cool water to the town in antiquity. The Guadalquivir River was likely not the best place to get drinking water due to the number of upstream towns and villages likely dumping sewer into the river.

The tour is about 35 ramps with only steps at the end so easier to manage for old and young. Originally it was so guards on horseback could ride to the top. It was totally busy at 4 pm on a Monday in October. Tickets in advance are necessary unless it’s really off season. Shoulders must be covered and anyone showing up in a tank top could buy a wrap for 3€. They said legs should be covered to the knees but there were plenty of shorts that they didn’t make an issue of.

Giralda is the tower of the Sevilla Cathedral. It has no steps, just a continuous ramp up to the top, which makes it very easy to climb. The space is wide for a bell tower. The views from the top are amazing. I bought the tickets online, so there was no waiting for us.

The interior of this cathedral was very ornate with beautiful gold sculptures. I bought a ticket for a smaller Church nearby which included a ticket to the cathedral. This allowed me to bypass the very long line to buy tickets at the cathedral. The other church was nice too.

This a well preserved historic theatre built by Ancient Rome. During the 1st century AD, the current stage front was erected. The theatre was abandoned in the 4th century AD after the official adoption of Christianity, which considered theatrical performances immoral. Site archaeological excavations started in 1910 onwards. Interesting place to visit. Entry fees charged, long queues, book ahead. Uneven terrain, lots of walking, climbing crude stairs. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Toilets nearby. Great place for photography.

Very recommended. It was built 16-15 year b.C by consul Marco Agripa. It was to around 6000 people. It’s like Roma in small scale but better because it is in a very good state. There is a ticket without guide to visit the full monumental complex: Roman Theatre, Circus, Moreria Arqueological Area, Mithraeum House, Columbarium, Alcazaba, Anfiteatre and House, Diana Temple. All of this for only 17€ per person (normal fee).

Why go to Rome! We purchased our €17 day pass, giving you entry into all of the sites, which is great value. You are given a map detailing the locations of the other sites. Here, you will be transported back, walking through the amphitheatres and tunnels. We are here in the non peak period, and it's fabulous! It's hot, though, so make sure you have a hat and water. You will need it. Put this site on your list of things to do.

If you passed the first beautiful amfitheater you wil see the other one which is more beautiful with incredibly high pillars and colums. You will be blown away what you see. The long walk is all worth it, also if you are not very capable to walk. Advice: combination ticket for 17 euro.

Seriously one of the most amazing places I have visited in Spain. I loved every single minute of my time in this place.

What a fabulous site. To see 2 Roman sites and more in one place. Parking is hard. But beautiful to walk through

Excellent archaeological site, very informative with boards in Spanish and English. They need to provide more water stations and shaded areas around the site as the heat is so intense, also rubbish bins.

Full of many magnificent buildings few of which can entered and few of which seem occupied by families. The city is a museum piece and while one can marvel at the energy and commitment involved in its construction it does seem soulless. No bars or shops that we found in that part of the city we explored. It was worth visiting but my preference is for the small towns which are alive and atmospheric. Try Alcantara for example and appreciate the contrast.

That Town is in my opinion very underrated, because it's so, so beautiful! I reccomend to visit if you're travelling through Spain, it's definitely worth it. The Old Town is just breath taking, and seeing this at night time gives you an opportunity to feel the place, its spirit.

A great place to break our journey south for a wander around the city and grab a coffee. Lots of interesting buildings.

It’s a beautiful place, a bit magical. Cáceres has a stunning medieval old town, full of fascinating places to explore and plenty of towers. It’s a lively and truly captivating.

Great place to visit, a mixture of Roman, Moorish, and medieval Spanish. Interesting churches, the museum of Càceres is really a visit & if you can find La Cacharreria restaurant & get a table then go. The food is amazing...

Really wonderful ! Please come to Cáceres and don't forget to visit the "Casco histórico". History is present everywhere!

Caceres Old Town: Visited in September 2025. An excellently kept medieval town centre, still partially in use. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. There several monuments of Cultural Interest inside: the co-cathedral of Saint Mary, the church of St Francis Javier, and several palaces and museums.

Wow! And Wow again. The Cathedral was built in 12-14 centuries, and it is not trying to look modern. The feeling of time is everywhere, from the central nave to the cloister and the chapels in the cloister. Highly recommended to everyone who is interested to learn more about history.

Catedral Vieja or Old Cathedral was founded by Bishop Jerome of Perigord (10??-1120), and was built in XII-XV centuries, and it is expressively Late-Romanesque/Early Gothic in style. High altar was created in 1430-1450 and its 58 panels were painted by Italian painters Dello Delli (1403-1470) and his brothers Nicola Delli and Sansone Delli. The population of Salamanca was growing very quickly in the XV century because of its university, and Old Cathedral couldn't admit all believers. That is why King Fernando, the Catholic (1452-1516), who was the Fernando II of Aragon and Fernando V of Castile commissioned construction of new cathedral. It was built between 1513 and 1733 right over the old cathedral. That's why today you can see old cathedral only from the belfry. The project of the cathedral was designed by Spanish architects Anton Egas and Alonso Rodrigues. The first stone of New Cathedral was laid in 1512 by Francisco de Cabrera y Bobadilla (14??-1529) the Bishop of Salamanca. His splendid tomb is in the New Cathedral. Salamanca, Castile and Leon, Kingdom of 🇪🇸 Spain 🇪🇸. December 1, 2014.

This is the older of the churches that make up Salamanca Cathedral. The Old Cathedral dates back to the 12th century when founded by Bishop Jerome Perigord. It was built during the 12th and 13th centuries and is mainly Romanesque in architecture with some Gothic features including the vaulted nave. The Old Cathedral is dedicated to Santa Maria de la Sede (St. Mary of the See). The Old Cathedral can be visited as part of a combined ticket (€10 per adult) that includes entry into the New Cathedral, cloister & historic chapels as well as the Episcopal Palace exhibition rooms just across from the cathedrals at Plaza Juan XXIII. Highlights for us were the frescos in St. Martin's Chapel and the beautiful ancient chapel of St. Barbara. However, most impressive is the apse altarpiece, a cycle of 53 scenes known collectively as the Final Judgement by Italian painter Dello Delli. This is a remarkable cathedral treasure, worth spending some time to enjoy. The cloister area was mainly closed during our visit but we enjoyed the small museum setup with a handful of rooms containing cathedral antiquity and artworks. Then, through the shop and over to the Episcopal Palace to see the exhibition rooms and artworks there. That wraps up your visit to the Salamanca Cathedral complex.

Amazing building. It's great being able to visit the old and new cathedral. Don't forget to visit the tower (ieronimus)

Beautiful Catedral and visiting the interior is worthy!!

The Old Cathedral of Salamanca (Cathedral Vieja de Salamanca in Spanish) is one of two existing cathedrals in the city of Salamanca, Castile and Leon, Spain. It was founded by Bishop Jerónimo de Perigord. Its construction began in the first third of the 12th century, continuing until the 14th century. Its architecture has Romanesque and Gothic influences. It is dedicated to Santa Maria da Sede. The cathedral has a Latin cross plan and three Romanesque naves, topped by Gothic transitional vaults. The main door, although it has lost part of its original artistic value, still conserves two statues, representing scenes of the Annunciation, one on each side.According to a legend, the San Martín Chapel or Olive Oil Chapel, where the ports of oils that were later used in the lamps of the Cathedral, served as a refuge for Franco, a general of the time. It is also worth mentioning that in the Old Cathedral there was a dome that became known by popular as the Torre do Galo, this mainly due to a weather vane that had in the crown.

beautiful outside but definitely not worth 10€ entry in my opinion

Great view at night. Quite a lot restaurants and cafes even for glass of wine.

Parked in the underground car park here and walked up into La plaza mayor. It was a cold, windy day in November. Took a short walk to the riverside park for a very nice walk there. At the weekend on a fine day it would be lovely.

Plaza Mayor is very similar to all the other Plaza Mayor around Spain. The one in Valladolid is a little quieter, but it's surrounded by beautiful buildings.

Beautiful especially at night time, the cafe's at the Plaza are expensive and food is mediocre, avoid them

It was so wonderful that we are coming back to Valladolid next January 2024

Even more beautiful with the Christmas lights! Be prepared for a crowd. ;-)

Beautiful centre square, especially at night, just don't sit and eat at the cafe's, expensive and mediocre

The wine museum was genuinely interesting to visit, and the entrance is free, which is a nice bonus. The castle can only be visited with a guided tour, which might be a plus for those who enjoy detailed explanations. Personally, I would have preferred to explore it on my own. The view from the top platform of the castle is beautiful, but inside there isn’t much to see, as none of the original interiors have been preserved.

Nice visit to the castle. Couldn't understand much as the guide was talking really fast. But is is an nice sight to behold and well worth a visit

Beautiful castle, build like a ship with a long and impressive history There are also great views of the area from the top of it Check the opening time, we got there at around 13:30 but it closes at 14:00 so we couldn’t go in so we came back after 16:00 when they opens up again The wine museum is worthwhile a visit if anything for the smelling exercise you can do inside

You can only visit as part of a guided tour in Spanish. So a wasted journey. Anyway, the castle looks better when seen from the town We don't do guided tours unless it's somewhere very very special like the Altamira Caves

Beautiful looking castle structure with great views. I did not go in.

Wonderful views from a castle steeped in Spanish history. Long walk up steep road to access, but plenty of parking if driving at the top. €6.20 ticket for adult guided tour and entry to the wine museum.

The castle itself is wonderful and impressive, however, it turned out to be a wine tour/museum, so the only way to see the inside is on a wine tour. You cannot roam by yourself, which was a disappointment. Still feel the "touch of history" by visiting

The Burgos Cathedral is located in the historical centre of the Spanish city of the same name. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1221 and was completed in 1567. It is a comprehensive example of the evolution of Gothic style, with the entire history of Gothic art exhibited in its superb architecture and unique collection of art, including paintings, choir stalls, reredos, tombs, and stained-glass windows. Burgos Cathedral has the distinction of being the only Cathedral in Spain to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site independently from the historic center of the city it is located in. The visit of the Cathedral lasts 1 hour approx. It is very large, with many small chapels. It is worth visiting slowly. Entry fee at time of writing / visiting : from 10 Euros Free Entry: Entry to the cathedral is free on Tuesday afternoons between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm in the summer (and 4:30 pm to 6 pm in the winter). My way on Camino de Santiago Visited April 2025

One of the richest cathedrals I’ve ever seen! The intricate art and sculptures inside are simply amazing. There is a free audio guide that you can access via your phone. It is hard to listen though while also taking in the beauty of each chapel and artwork at the same time. 😅 This is a must-visit in Burgos!

Espectacular cathedral with a fast and efficient check out service tickets. No matter your believes it’s a must visit. The details of all of the walls and structure is impressive. You would like to spend like at least an hour and a half to enjoy all the places inside.

This may be one of the most beautiful churches I have visited. St Peters in Rome may be grander but the Burgos Cathedral has so many beautiful chapels inside it, each distinct. Some of the chapels are humongous, bigger than small churches. Burgos Cathedral is awesome, a must see!

Huge building. We were to late to visit,as we arrived only in the evening. Impressive building and probably worth to visit also inside. Tickets can be purchased during the day at the entrance. The large squares around the Cathedral are pleasant for a drink or to stroll around with an ice cream.

Burgos Cathedral is one of Spain’s most impressive Gothic landmarks and a true architectural marvel. From the moment you approach its elaborate façade and soaring spires, the grandeur is unmistakable. Inside, the cathedral is equally breathtaking, with richly decorated chapels, vaulted ceilings, and intricately carved choir stalls that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. A particular highlight is the tomb of El Cid and his wife, placed prominently beneath the central dome—an evocative tribute to one of Spain’s legendary historical figures. The Golden Staircase, the elaborate main altarpiece, and the stunning dome above the crossing all add to the cathedral’s majesty. The visit includes access to the Cathedral Museum, which is thoughtfully integrated into several side chapels and rooms. The collection spans medieval to Renaissance periods and includes religious paintings, fine metalwork, textiles, and illuminated manuscripts. Each exhibit is well presented and offers deeper insight into the religious and artistic history of the region. The cloister provides a peaceful contrast to the main cathedral space, and its sculpted tombs add to the sense of history. Overall, Burgos Cathedral is not only a place of worship but a living museum of Gothic art and Spanish heritage. A must-see for any visitor to the city.

A wonderful experience. Well kept for all to enjoy. Pay for entrance when you arrive. There will be busy days/times. We visited fairly early after opening.

Simply spectacular. Most of the exhibits (apart from the very top floor) are bilingual (Spanish & English) whilst some of them are interactive. The original fossils are simply stunning. We highly recommend that you take the trip to the archeological site too & see some if the demonstrations. It was a first class day...

A very interesting and educational museum for all ages. One can learn a lot about the history of human civilization. Some exhibits are digital and interactive, which makes the experience even more engaging. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must visit if you are in Burgos!

Incredible, elegant and creative display that synthesizes a ton of wild material. English translations of about 90% of the exhibits. Highlight is definitely the French-made models of hominids. Many of the items on display are replicas, but the replica quality is high.

I think at least a full morning or afternoon is needed as there is so much incredible information and displays to take in.

To find this incredible museum in a fairly small city was a revelation. The displays were informative and inspirational, you must visit Burgos to see this museum and all the other wonderful places within its vicinity!

Fascinating and highly informative museum, suitable for most ages from schoolchildren to adults. All exhibits are described in Spanish and English.

Well well well worth a visit if you’re passing through Burgos. Excellently laid out and incredible amounts of exhibitions displaying evolution of mankind with plenty of discoveries from nearby Atapuerca. €4 with credencial. Kudos to the museum!

We stayed at Hotel Marques de Riscal on 5/29/25 for 1 night when we explored Rioja. This hotel is definitely the highlight of the trip. As a platinum elite member, I was upgraded to a wonderful suite 330, with the terrace next to the vineyard and the spa. The location and the beauty of this hotel is amazing. Laguardia, Logrono and Haro are within 20-30 minute drive from Elciego so this hotel is a perfect base. The complementary breakfast and the winery tour are wonderful. Yahia is very friendly and helpful with our luggage. The front desk staff is amazing as well. We also enjoyed the dinner service at the restaurant. The hotel grounds reminded us of a mini Guggenheim at Bilbao, but with incredible views of the surrounding vineyards and village of Elciego in the background. The spa is clean, serene with sauna, steam bath, pool and lounge chairs overlooking the vineyard. Overall, this hotel hits it out of the park. Highly recommended.

The hotel was designed by the same architect as the Guggenheim in Bilbao — modern and comfy. Our room was spacious, and the bathroom was huge. The big downside for me was the food. We had both dinner and breakfast at the hotel. During dinner, the service was extremely slow, and the chocolate cake was very dry. Breakfast was no better — there were similar delays, and when the bagels and poached egg finally arrived, they were cold. Definitely not the Marriott Bombay experience you’d expect in this price range. On a brighter note, the spa is a true highlight. Treatments are carried out using Caudalie products, which added a touch of luxury to the experience.

The Hotel Marqués de Riscal is truly one of a kind. The architecture is stunning, but what really made this stay exceptional was the professionalism and warmth of the staff. Every interaction—from check-in to check-out—was handled with genuine care. Room service was flawless. Breakfast was a standout, especially thanks to Marta and Luz who delivered top-tier service every morning. At reception, Carlota deserves special recognition—professional, attentive, and clearly committed to making sure guests feel looked after. The spa was another highlight. I had the 80-minute facial and can honestly say it was the best I’ve ever had—absolute must if you’re staying here. Dining options on site were fantastic, and the wine tour was a real treat. Learning the deep history behind the Marqués de Riscal label gave me a new appreciation for the wines I’ve enjoyed for years. We also took a quick 25-minute drive to Logroño—well worth it. Ate at Bartolo there—outstanding meal. Bottom line: this wasn’t just a hotel stay. It was an experience. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

We had the Gehry menu with wine pairings at the restaurant as part of our 25th anniversary celebrations. The menu was lovely, but the highlight for both my wife and I was the pea soup with marrow which was beyond delicious. Honourable mention goes to the petite fours because it was presented so beautifully. The service, including the sommelier, was excelente, attentive and unobtrusive.

If you are looking for a 5 star hotel with a true 5 star experience look no further. My husband and I came here as part of our honeymoon in Spain and for me this hotel was up there right next to the Four Seasons in Madrid. Every person we interacted with - from the front desk/concierge, to the waiters in the wine bar, to the fabulous spa staff was beyond kind and really helped make our stay exceptional. The team contacted us prior to our stay to help us with any reservations and requests and that impeccable service carried throughout our visit. Some highlights for us were the scrub/massage treatments at the spa - Crina and Darlyn were fantastic! And Diego at the wine bar was very hospitable and so much fun to chat with. I also cannot say enough good things about the front desk/concierge, they made sure all of our requests were met! Yes, the hotel and the surrounding area are undoubtedly stunning but it’s really the people and team at this hotel that pushed the experience over the top for us! Hope to be back!

This hotel is incredible. The service. The settings. The various on property amenities like the spa. The staff was extremely attentive while not being pretentious.

A real architectural beauty by Gehry. The vineyard was so well organized. It was a great place to visit.

Fantastic experience for children We went with our toddler and he absolutely loved riding in the cable cars and spotting animals. You can then drive around to different enclosures for a closer look. Facilities were great - toilets and refreshment stands throughout the park and very well run. I would suggest you leave enough time to fully explore the park. We had 2 and a half hours and it was only enough to do the cable car route, see the reptile house, rhinos and tigers even without stopping for lunch. Highly recommend.

Overall, we were a bit disappointed. Value wise - at 140 Euros for a family it felt overpriced. No suggested routes, old signage/ information about the animals as well as chaotic and crowded roads around the park. We did not see many staff around the park, and it felt a bit unloved. Animals were great, especially the cable car over the elephant enclosure.

I was worried that without car we will suffer but actually it is quite easy, we took a zoo bus and a cable car, and we walked. So I must say that even without car the visit to this parque is a great idea! We even took a public bus to Santander and it was a cheap and pleasant trip. The parque itself is much better than any regular zoo! Definitely worth visiting

Must visit place. That’s how all the zoos should be organised with a huge territories for the animals. Incredible nature around and a lot of animals in the natural habitat

Best day out. Still need to go back. One trip is not enough.

Beautiful landscape formed by a former open mine, now all holes have become enclosures for animals. This means every animal has at least a football field worth of space. You would expect that it would be more difficult that way to see the animals but that is not the case. The place is huge so you get around by car with a small parking lot at every enclosure, there’s also a cable car that takes you over most enclosures with a unique view of the animals, it feels a bit like a safari. Entrance is a bit steep, but worth it. Prices of drinks and food inside are fair for a park like this. Because the place is so big, it never feels busy except at the entrance to the cable cars there’s a small line.

Very nice animal reserve. The animals have a lot of room to roam and appear to be well taken care of. There are two cable car routes above the enclosures that give great views included in the ticket price.

Fabulously picturesque and immensely photogenic, the Magdalena Peninsula was the highlight of my stay in Santander. I wish I had a whole day to spend there and take in all the views. The sunsets there are simply magnificent.

What a beautiful place to visit even as a tourist. We were travelling with an aged mom and were delighted to hear that she didn't have to walk up the hill to the palace as there's a train (bus) one can hop on that takes a slow trip up the hill. Cost was 5€. The grounds are immaculate and there's benches placed throughout the peninsula where you can sit and enjoy the view. It's a lovely area to stroll around.

Inside the palace is exquisite and at 3 euros for a guided tour well worth it but the grounds and seascapes are stunning. You can see and hear the power of the waves crashing into the cliffs. A short bus journey (1.30 euros each way) will take you there and entry to the grounds is free.

Very nice, green and peaceful place! Perfect for a walk! Beautiful places to visit and eat! Surrounded by water with amazing views, and that sound of waves crashing on the rocks, ahh... miss this place!

The grounds surrounding the Palace are absolutely stunning, with beautiful cliff edges where you can feel the full force of the atlantic wind. The park is really well maintained and is a lovely place to just sit and chill. The actual peninsula is 5 stars for definite, but the park area lacks toilets and amenities. The mini zoo (with sea lions and penguins) seems cruel and unnecessary. The animals don't have much space and some don't seem very healthy, which put a gloomy cloud over what an otherwise lovely trip to the park.

It's very beautiful place. You can go to castle Magdalena or visit mini zoo. Over there is amazing view. You should to visit this place if you in Santander

The Magdalena Peninsula is a 28 hectare peninsula located near the entrance to the Bay of Santander. The peninsula is a popular recreational destination for both tourists and locals. The historic Palacio de la Magdalena is located on the peninsula, which along with its surrounding gardens, is designated as a cultural heritage site. Also located on the peninsula is a small zoo, three galleons of the Cantabrian mariner Vital Alsar Ramírez and a lighthouse.
