in Architecture+Design2 years ago
Hi friends

Another week of architecture.
I have made a habit of leaving this day for architecture.
Not for anything special, but because I like to make tickets for all my friends, that keeps my mind active haha what is missing.
But today it touches palaces

Hola amigos

Otra semana de arquitectura.
He cogido por costumbre dejar este día para la arquitectura.
No por nada especial, sino porque me gusta hacer entradas para todos los amigos, eso mantiene mi mente activa jaj que falta la hace.
Pero hoy toca palacios

The Royal Palace of Magdalena

It is not an old palace since it was built in 1909, at the end I will put all the technical data that I have studied for you.
But let's start with experience.
Located on the La Magdalena peninsula, Spain, which is the northern part of our country 100 kilometers from our house and I had the opportunity to visit it again this summer.
The palaces are not only composed of their architecture but also of their design, their location and their gardens.

El Real Palacio de la Magdalena
No es un palacio antiguo ya que ese construyo en 1909, al final os pondré todos los datos técnicos que he estudiado para vosotros. Pero empecemos por la experiencia. Situado en la península de La Magdalena, España, que es la zona norte de nuestro país a 100 kilómetros de nuestra casa y que tuve la oportunidad de visitarlo otra vez este verano. Los palacios no se componen solo de su arquitectura sino también de su diseño, su ubicación y sus jardines.

So let's start with the gardens, it is a pedestrian area so to see the castle you have to step on its gardens whether you want to or not and the truth is that it is worth it.

As it is a peninsula it is surrounded by sea and cliffs
You can see this post to get the idea

Así que empecemos por los jardines, es una zona peatonal así que para ver el castillo tienes que pisas sus jardines quieras o no y la verdad es que merece la pena.

Como es una península está rodeada de mar y acantilados
Podéis ver esta entrada para haceros a la idea.

The views are spectacular the lighthouse in front Lighthouse entrance

Today we see the sea a bit calm, since the Cantabrian is brave, bad-tempered and cold.
Vemos el mar hoy un poco tranquilo, ya que el cantábrico es bravo y con mal carácter y friío.

When we enter the forest we can see the battlements, haughty and with their flags waving in the wind
Cuando nos adentramos en el bosque podemos ver las almenas, altivas y con sus banderas ondeando al viento.

With its eclectic style and in perfect condition, the kings of Spain usually spend summer seasons here enjoying the mild climate that we have, so it is an active and alive palace, not from the era of the crusades or the catholic kings but simply a palace that we could say new.
Con su estilo ecléctica y en perfectas condiciones, los reyes de España suelen pasar temporadas de verano aquí disfrutando del clima templado que tenemos, así que es un palacio activo y vivo, no de la era de las cruzadas ni de los reyes católicos sino simplemente un palacio que podíamos decir nuevo.

We arrive at the entrance and see the plaque where the story tells:
Llegamos a la entrada y vemos la placa donde cuenta la historia:

A unanimous agreement of the Santander City Council,
From January 15, 1908. He converted the Magdalena peninsula into the summer residence of the kings of Spain, after this palace was raised by popular subscription.
Starting in 1913, Don Alfonso XIIU and Doña Victoria Eugenia, with their children, lived here, during the summers, like other inhabitants of the city.
In 1995 the works promoted by the Santander city council for the restoration of the building were completed, with which the splendor of the time that it was inhabited by its first owners was recovered.

It is covid time so visits to the interior are scarce and there were no places to visit it, we will settle for the exterior.
Es tiempo de covid asi que las visitas al interior son escasas y no había plazas para visitarlo, nos conformaremos con el exterior.

The entrance with its columns some arranged and are noted for its whiteness, some of the times in which it was built.

With English style we see its chimneys and the shapes of the windows, the triangles of the roofs and the color red, calls the princesses to inhabit it.
Con estilo inglés vemos sus chimeneas y las formas de las ventanas, los triángulos de los tejados y el color rojo, llama a las princesas a habitarlo.

Everything is in pristine white and visitors are amazed. Its towers and its design.
Todo está de un blanco impoluto y los visitantes quedamos maravillados. Sus torreones y su diseño.

The main double-section staircase, almost impossible to photograph because the sea is winged and one cannot retreat further to appreciate it.

The shields with the lion and some other shield, it is not a rather simple and elegant ornate palace, as was the fashion in those times.
Los escudos con el león y algún otro escudo, no es un palacio recargado más bien sencillo y elegante, como era la moda en aquellos tiempos.

It is a work of eclectic style, which combines English influences, evident in the arrangement of the exterior masses, abundance of the chimneys, the shape of the windows, etc., with contributions of French style, such as the double flight staircase of the main staircase, the asymmetry of the bodies of the building, etc., in addition to traces taken from the baroque mountain architecture. Its construction popularized an eclectic-regionalist sub-style in Cantabria, whose greatest exponent is the palace itself, and which comes from the picturesque palace English of the Hornillos.

The planimetric scheme is based on an elongated body measuring 91x21 m, with another that comes out to the north, 20 m on each side. Its elevations are asymmetrical and the multitude of recesses and projections give the impression that it consists of several twinned bodies.

It consists of two entrances, one to the north for carriages, with a portico, and another to the south, which is the main one, with two octagonal towers and a staircase with double sections. The building is made of masonry stone from Cueto
wikipedia

Se trata de una obra de estilo ecléctico, que combina influencias inglesas, patentes en la disposición de las masas exteriores, abundancia de las chimeneas, forma de los ventanales, etc., con aportes de estilo francés, como la escalinata de doble tramo de la escalera principal, la asimetría de los cuerpos del edificio, etcétera, además de trazas tomadas de la arquitectura barroca montañesa.​ Su construcción popularizó un subestilo ecléctico-regionalista en Cantabria, cuyo mayor exponente es el mismo palacio, y que proviene del palacio pintoresquista inglés de los Hornillos.

El esquema planimétrico se basa en un cuerpo alargado de 91x21 m, con otro que sale al norte, de 20 m de lado. Sus alzados son asimétricos y la multitud de entrantes y salientes dan la sensación de que consta de varios cuerpos maclados.

Consta de dos entradas, una al norte para carruajes, con pórtico, y otra al sur, que es la principal, con dos torreones de planta octogonal y una escalinata de dobles tramos. El edificio es de piedra de mampostería procedente de Cueto

The important thing about this entrance is the palace, but also the good time we spent admiring it, they were relaxed and beautiful hours.
Lo importante de esta entrada es el palacio, pero también el buen rato que pasamos admirándolo, fueron horas relajadas y bonitas.

Hello friend, if it was a very interesting and beautiful trip, I also accompanied the day
happy day and thanks for stopping by


Hola amigo si fue un viaje muy interesante y bonito el día también acompaño
feliz día y gracias por pasar

You're welcome (^_^)

¡Que maravilla de sitio!
Me gusta mucho, deseando estoy hacer una escapada por el norte. 😁
Un saludo amiga.

What a wonderful place!
I really like it, I'm looking forward to a trip to the north. 😁
Best regards friend.

Hola guapa, a pie de casa tenemos en toda España cosas muy interesantes, ami también me gustaría viajar y ver todas las maravillas que tenemos en nuestro patrimonio, castillos casa y todo lo que tenemos que muchas veces no apreciamos.
Te espero cualquier día
feliz jueves


Hello, beautiful, at the foot of our house we have very interesting things all over Spain, I would also like to travel and see all the wonders that we have in our heritage, castles and everything we have that many times we do not appreciate.
I wait for you any day
Happy Thursday

Hello @txatxy, what a spectacular view you have brought of the Palacio Real de la Magdalena, which is more than admirable for its beauty in the design of this magnificent work of modern architecture in Spain. Although for me the eclectic architecture is in the division of the art of the nineteenth and twentieth century, I think it is really old for its proper inspiration of romanticism that takes extracts from the different artistic-architectural currents of the past. This Palace looks like something out of a tender fairy tale. A happy day and blessings to you.

Hello
If it is what the eclectic has, I particularly like the Gothic more, but each era has a style.
In Spain we have very different styles since it is a country that we could say old hahaha
But you are right about the fairy tale.
We can buy the clothes and walk through its gardens thinking that we are the inhabitants of the castle hahaha
For dreaming that there is no
Happy day and thanks for stopping by and commenting.


Hola
Si es lo que tiene el ecléctico, particular mente me gusta más el gótico, pero cada época tiene un estilo.
En España tenemos muy diferentes estilos ya que es un país que podíamos decir viejo jajaj
Pero lo del cuento de hadas tienes razón.
Nos podemos comprar el atuendo y pasear por sus jardines pensando que somos los habitantes del castillo jajaj
Por soñar que no quede
Feliz día y gracias por pasar y comentar.

Quite impressive building ^^ .. if I would live there, I would go crazy having to clean the whole residence 🤣

haha Hello
The same I say, but it is because we think of the poor, if we lived in the palace we would surely have a service that would take care of cleaning.
We on the terrace having a drink and watching the sea.
Let's think rich hahaha.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting and stop cleaning that we have a butler
Happy day 😁


jaja hola
Eso mismo digo yo, pero es porque pensamos en pobres, si viviéramos en el palacio seguro que tendríamos servicio que se encargarían de la limpieza.
Nosotros en la terraza tomando una copa y viendo el el mar.
Pensemos en ricos jajaj.
Gracias por pasar y comentar y deja de limpiar que tenemos mayordomo
Feliz día

Beauty and fantasy, in a civil architecture that was able to take advantage, in addition, of the characteristics of the environment, to create authentic works of art, which are not only considered, with all merit, as a true historical and cultural legacy, but are also a waste of emotion for the senses. Happy day
Belleza y fantasía, en una arquitectura civil que supo aprovechar, además, las características del entorno, para crear auténticas obras de Arte, que no sólo son consideradas, con todo merecimiento, como un verdadero legado histórico y cultural, sino que además, son un derroche de emotividad para los sentidos. Feliz día

Hi Juankar.
You know that the place and the environment is already special and how well cared for the palace is so white and clean.
I have always liked it a lot, but those that are truly old and with the patina of verdin and the years make them enchanted, looking at this you think of princesses and looking at those that are truly old you think of swords and ghosts, a lot of hydro honey and a full life adventure haha
good day


Hola juankar.
Sabes que el lugar y el entorno ya es especial y lo bien cuidado del palacio tan blanco y limpio.
siempre me ha gustado mucho , pero los que verdaderamente son antiguo y con la pátina de verdín y los años los hacen encantado, mirando este piensas en princesas y mirando los que son verdaderamente antiguos piensas en espadas y fantasmas, mucha hidro miel y una vida llena de aventuras jaja
feliz dia

Greetings friend @txatxy. I love the way you opened your post, starting with the human experiences of the featured architecture and ending this publication with its technical information. I could simply imagine the challenges of visiting that spectacular island in times when the Cantabrian Sea rages with violent waves during fierce storms, hence, it's a huge blessing that you've traveled there during the calm season of a gorgeous sunny day. It's also interesting to know that a zoo was constructed there as the welcoming party when entering the Royal Palace of Magdalena. Hmmm, what sorts of animals could be inside? With the building's English Eclectic influences in its architectural significance, it must have been a royal treat for you - fit for a king and queen. Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic Thursday with us! Take care! 😊

Hi, friend
Today that I have time, he happened to answer you hehe
The zoo is small it has a few penguins and the seals and walruses formerly had a polar bear.
It is just a mini zoo.
Seeing the surroundings with swell has to be impressive, if you can withstand the gusts of wind.
The best thing would be to see it from the palace window, don't you think?
With a good glass of wine and good company haha
Thanks for stopping by and commenting and forgive me for being late, I'm lazy and I have little time
Happy sunday friend

The Royal Palace of Magdalena is very beautiful place. I never seen before.
There are no words to describe how beautiful is all of this.
God bless you my dear friend @txatxy

Hello
Forgive me for answering late, I'm almost out of time.
I'm glad you liked it, the palace is very beautiful like everything around it.
If it coincides with a sunny day, it is like entering a fantasy world
Happy sunday my friend

Beautiful. The façade of the buildings looks like some Lego game. The city is very clean and mesmerising, Thanks for sharing your experience, have a great day ahead.

hello
Thanks for coming and commenting.
It is a beautiful area to walk around and see the palace and the sea, it is very clean as you say, because it is a relatively new construction, for what we are used to in Europe
happy Sunday
