AL ANDALUS RAIL HOLIDAYS
Step aboard Al Andalus and discover southern Spain aboard one of Europe’s most luxurious trains. Combining the romance of classic rail travel with exceptional dining, elegant private accommodation and fascinating excursions, an Al Andalus rail holiday offers an unforgettable way to experience the culture, history and landscapes of Andalucía.
Originally built in the 1920s, the beautifully restored Belle Époque carriages transport you back to the golden age of rail travel. Elegant lounges, refined dining cars and comfortable private suites create a luxurious travelling hotel as you journey between some of Spain’s most captivating destinations.
An Al Andalus journey is about far more than the train itself. Each day brings a new destination to discover, with carefully planned excursions allowing you to experience Andalucía’s magnificent palaces, historic cities, traditional towns and celebrated cuisine.
Explore the colourful streets and grand architecture of Seville, discover the extraordinary Moorish heritage of Córdoba, wander through beautiful Ronda, and experience Granada, home to the magnificent Alhambra Palace.
Between excursions, return to the comfort of Al Andalus and watch the landscapes of southern Spain unfold from the train’s elegant lounges. With meals, selected drinks, excursions and entertainment forming part of the experience, almost every detail of your journey is taken care of.
Life aboard Al Andalus recalls a more glamorous era of travel. Its historic carriages feature polished wood, beautiful fabrics and elegant details, complemented by modern comforts and attentive service.
Dining is an important part of the journey, with menus inspired by the regions you travel through and accompanied by Spanish wines. Some meals are enjoyed aboard the train, while others are served in carefully selected restaurants during your excursions, giving you the opportunity to experience Andalucía through its food as well as its landscapes.
Choose between Gran Class and Deluxe Suites, both offering private en-suite facilities and comfortable accommodation. By evening, relax in the train’s beautiful lounge cars, enjoy entertainment or simply settle back with a drink as another memorable day in Andalucía draws to a close.
