The train is a means of transport full of advantages. Among them is its integration into the landscape through which it passes. This makes it the preferred option for many travelers for their journeys. Furthermore, this mode of transport can be a vacation experience in itself, especially in the high-luxury sector. Such is the case with the Al Andalus Train, one of Renfe’s most exclusive products. In this post, we tell you what it is like, the route it follows, and its price.
Al Andalus Train: Features
The train used for this tour transports the traveler not only through the most emblematic cities of Andalusia but also to the glorious past of the train itself: it is a series built in France and used by the British monarchy for their journeys between Calais and the French Riviera.
Consequently, its exterior appearance is very elegant and its interior decor is period-style, featuring truly luxurious lounge cars. The rooms, available in two levels (Grand Class and Deluxe Suite), are cozy and comfortable, and the common areas are easily interconnected, allowing for convenient movement between the different spaces.
