The red bricks can be seen from the entire bay, at which the royal palace looks since the Belle Époque.
At the end of the 19th century, the regent Queen María Cristina ordered to build this palace in order to accommodate the Court during the summer. In accordance to the fashion of that time, she wanted a building inspired by the English country houses, so the architect Selden Wornum was hired. The location of the royal palace could not be better: on the hillock ending the El Loro Pick, which separates La Concha Beach from the Ondarreta Beach. This area offers splendid views over the bay and the city. At present, the park is opened for everybody to enjoy it, while the Miramar Palace is the venue for the Summer Courses of the University of the Basque Country and Eusko Ikaskuntza - Society of Basque Studies.
