EL TRANSCANTABRICO GRAN LUJO – A luxury train in spain

El Transcantabrico Gran Lujo traverses the Atlantic-facing part of Northern Spain known as España Verde, Green Spain, and its hinterland; passengers dine on regional specialities and visit the best local monuments and countryside. Every suite has a private bathroom, some of the best on any European train (equalled only by sister train Al Andalus & the Grand Suites on Venice Simplon Orient Express). A Gran Lujo Deluxe suite has a private lounge area.

The saloons are jewels of railway heritage, four of them being original 1923 Pullman cars. All of the carriages have been specifically renovated.

The route from Galicia to the Bay of Biscay covers Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country, Castile and León. Regional gastronomy, art, monuments and landscapes are presented to travellers from the comfort of a five-star ‘train hotel’. Religious and secular architecture highlights the history of the region, Romans to the present; Upper Paleolithic cave paintings remind us of the lives of earliest humans.

El Transcantabrico Gran Lujo, like the Costa Verde Express, runs on a narrow gauge railway. Suites are narrower (beds are regular sizes) than on standard gauge trains. Each Gran Lujo suite is half a carriage in length, with bedroom / lounge areas and private bathroom.

This is one of the many exciting things that you could do if you went to Spain and lived around the Galicia area. Take a look at our beautiful property in Figueroa Beach. It is a great attraction for people who purchase property in Spain.
