More than 30 years ago, the oldest tourist train in Spain was born: El Transcantábrico. What was then a risky commitment in a country that had never had a train with these kinds of features and services, is today a consolidated and internationally renowned presence.
The successive refits and improvements over its many years have made El Transcantábrico today a true five star hotel on the track, with services and amenities to satisfy the most demanding expectations. The charm of the evocative early 20th-century trains is perfectly intertwined with the latest in 21st-century comfort in its lounges and suites.
The gastronomy in both the train lounges and the renowned restaurants on the route is prepared by the best chefs in northern Spain - an area already known as one of the best in Europe for its quality professionals and produce.
The flavour of select cuisine is now a 'hallmark' for all tourist packages offered by Renfe – Trenes Turísticos (Renfe – Tourist Trains).
