The lounge, bar and restaurant carriages of Al Andalus were built in France between 1929 and 1930 by the Wagon-Lits Company and have since been restored to their original splendour. Slow travel in Spain's own Orient Express-style luxury train is to be savoured at leisure.
This is the epitome of romantic travel: Belle Époque charm mingles with the comfort of the modern age, transporting guests through the wonderful scenery of Spain. A dedicated train manager is on board throughout the entire journey, ready to assist at any moment. Coupled with the extraordinary Spanish sights, culture and gastronomy encountered at every stop, travel on Al Andalus is truly memorable.
