| Widely known for Flamenco music and dance, bull-fights, beaches and lots of sunshine, Spain has to offer much more than that. It is one of the cultural centers of Europe with beautiful cities and towns that offer really old monuments as well as modern architecture. The various regions are all different to each other geographically, climatically and even in personality. In short, Spain is a fascinating country to visit. Spain is also home to some of Europe's best cruise trains. The El Transcantabrico Railway Classic Cruise Train was the first Spanish tourist luxury train. It has been delighting travellers for the past 27 years. Running between Santiago de Compostela and Leon over the narrow gauge FEVE railway, all of the magic of northern Spain awaits the traveller, from the lands of Castile and Leon to the shores of the Bay of Biscay. The El Transcantabrico Gran Lujo Train offers suites twice the size of those on the classic train, and accommodates just 28 guests in outstanding comfort. A railway cruise on the El Transcantabrico offers you delightful gastronomy, outstanding art, fascinating monuments and landscape, all from the luxury of your own luxurious touring train. The La Robla, sister train to the El Transcantabrico, offers well priced four day, three night tours that conveniently begin and end in either Bilbao or Gijon. New in 2012, the Al Andalus luxury train operates in Andalucis, southern Spain. This broad gauge, spacious train offers 5 night cruises through a beautiful and historic part of the Iberian Peninsular. All of these fine cruise trains offer an all inclusive tour, starting and ending in various Spanish cities. They do not include flights or hotel accommodation that may be needed before the train journey starts, or after it ends. In June 2012 Geoff's Trains offers an El Transcantabrico tour that includes flights from Britain and two hotel nights. The tour is accompanied by a tour manager throughout. The flights on this inclusive tour are arranged by PTG Tours. |
