Tourist train The Great Luxury Transcantábrico

OFFICIAL TICKETS

Transcantábrico was inaugurated in 1983 in Leon, renovated in 2000, and then completely overhauled in 2011 to become El Transcantábrico Gran Lujo, one of the most exclusive and luxurious trains in the world. Since then, regular & painstaking renovations maintain high standards. Being designed for a narrow-gauge railway, El Transcantábrico Gran Lujo travels through otherwise inaccessible terrain. This enables you to enjoy nature in all its splendour, from high mountains to the Cantabrian coast, passing through valleys and along riverbanks. An unforgettable trip full of glamour, scenery, culture, and beauty.
