Step aboard El Transcantábrico, Spain’s first luxury train, for a marvelous journey of 8 days and 7 nights between León and Santiago de Compostela. Inaugurated in 1983, El Transcantábrico runs along the same railway lines as the old coal trains of the historic La Robla Railway, which took coal from León to Biscay. Experience the history of Spain from prehistoric times to the present day…
Discover the towns and villages of northern Spain as the train winds its way by the Bay of Biscay that lies between steep mountains and green meadows, past beaches and cliffs. These are places full of enchantment and history that over the centuries have become living works of art, places like Santiago de Compostela, Vivero, Oviedo, Ribadesella, Llanes, Santillana del Mar, Santander, Bilbao, Carrión de los Condes and León.
