Tourist trains that travel through Spain and make the trip itself as exciting as getting to know the destination. From luxurious week-long journeys reminiscent of the great railway journeys of the past,\u00a0to one-day excursions enlivened by actors. Traveling by train is one of the great tourist pleasures\u00a0that a traveler can experience, especially if it is accompanied by buffet breakfasts, product tasting, exclusive visits…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Transcant\u00e1brico<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

The Transcant\u00e1brico<\/strong> train is surely the Spanish tourist train by excellence and the most veteran. Its proposal is a dream: to travel through the north of the country, known as “Green Spain” for its breathtaking landscapes, aboard a train that retains the romanticism of the great expresses of the early twentieth century but with modern comforts. It has a more glamorous version, the Transcant\u00e1brico Gran Lujo, which goes from San Sebasti\u00e1n to Santiago de Compostela in an 8-day journey. Travelers can sample the gastronomy of Castilla y Le\u00f3n, the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia and enjoy gala parties, live music on board and tickets to museums and monuments with a multilingual guide<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Al-Andalus<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

It is said that the Al-Andalus train is like a palace on wheels. In fact, its suite cars belong to the same series as those built for the British monarchy’s travels between Calais and the C\u00f4te d’Azur. Those who opt for this train, will make an itinerary through Andalusia for 7 days<\/b> and departing from Seville. In addition to the experience of traveling on one of the largest tourist trains in the world, there is the possibility of tasting the dishes of prestigious chefs and visiting cities such as Cadiz, Ronda, Cordoba, Ubeda or Baeza and monuments such as the Alhambra<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pilgrim Train<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

Santiago de Compostela can be reached on foot, by bicycle… and now also on rails. The proposal of the Pilgrim Train is to travel a variant of the famous route of the Camino de Santiago in a different way. With a duration of five days, it departs from Madrid to Santiago de Compostela and passes through places like Vigo, Pontevedra or Vilagarc\u00eda de Arousa. Dinners and breakfasts are offered on the train and the trip includes some visits to monuments and gastronomic tastings<\/b>. Bicycles are allowed on board, so pilgrims who wish to do so, can also make stages by bike or on foot to get the Compostela.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

La Robla Express<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

We do not leave the north of Spain, because for three days and two nights<\/b> this train offers a trip to the nature and culture of the area following much of the route of the Camino de Santiago. The Bilbao-Le\u00f3n<\/b> itinerary is a journey that usually takes place in July, September and October. Inside, a classic decoration awaits, and outside, the scenic nature of northern Spain. In addition, the gastronomy has a strong protagonism<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Cervantes Train<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Beyond the multi-day trips, there are also interesting one-day excursion options such as this one. The Cervantes Train de Cervantes departs from Madrid and arrives in the historic city of Alcal\u00e1 de Henares<\/b>, where the most famous Spanish writer of all times, Miguel de Cervantes<\/b>, was born. The ride itself is already entertaining, as several actors dressed in 17th century costumes accompany travelers.

Strawberry Train<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

During spring and autumn seasons, weekends are the perfect time to make this very appealing plan. From Madrid to Aranjuez, a town famous for its rich strawberries and whose Cultural Landscape is a World Heritage Site<\/b>. The fact that this place is so well known is mainly due to the Royal Palace of Aranjuez and its dazzling gardens that invite you to take long walks. During the trip, you will ride in wooden carriages built between 1914 and 1930 and you will be offered a strawberry tasting. Once there, depending on the type of itinerary you have chosen, a visit to the Palace and gardens will be included, or you will be able to ride on a boat or a tourist tra<\/b>in.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Travel to Soria from Madrid and spend a weekend between poetry and gastronomy<\/b>. Riding on this train means going in search of the footsteps of the famous poet Antonio Machado through his experiences there, more than 100 years ago.

Once in Soria, we visit the baroque hermitage of San Saturio, the splendid monastery of San Juan de Duero, the ancient city of Numancia or the enigmatic and captivating Laguna Negra<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
