Colour and flavour. Landscape, art and the best of Northern Spain's cuisine. The luxurious, first-class style of a great European rail journey. The continuous fascination of eight days and seven nights spent travelling along the Cantabrian Coast from Leon to Santiagode Compostela , a journey which ranges through five of Spain's autonomous communities. Staying in a glamorous hotel on wheels, travelling across this verdant area of Spain with its dream beaches, crystal waterfalls and rugged corners where wild horses roam free. Perhaps you'll take a boat trip along theGalician coast, or visit such jewels of Spanish art and architecture as the Cathedral of Leon, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the caves at Altamira, the sanctuary of Covadonga and the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela . Not to mention the absolute attention to detail offered on board the train: saloon cars which are the epitome of good taste and design, suites with hydro-sauna, turbo-massage and steam bath... TheTranscantabrian, the most luxurious train in Spain, runs along the track originally used by the historic La Robla railway, which used to transport coal from Leon to Biscay. The trip on the Spanish Orient Express is a luxury experience within reach of the privileged few.
