Spain’s luxury train to take tourists on a weeklong journey from 2026

Spain’s luxury train Al Andalus will launch a new seven-day journey between Seville and Madrid from spring 2026, offering passengers a slow-travel experience through historic cities, vineyards, and UNESCO World Heritage sites.

According to a report by Conde Nast Traveller, the Belle Époque-style train will begin its itinerary in Seville with a city tour before making stops at Cordoba, Cádiz, Jerez, Mérida, Alcázar de San Juan, Toledo, and Aranjuez, ending in Madrid. Passengers will explore landmarks such as Cordoba’s Mosque-Cathedral, Cádiz’s old town, the Roman ruins of Mérida, the windmills of Campo de Criptana, and Toledo’s Gothic and Moorish architecture. The Royal Palace of Aranjuez will be among the final highlights before the journey concludes.

The train itself dates back to the 1930s and was modeled on the British royal family’s carriages. On board, travelers will find wood-paneled dining cars, a ballroom, and a lounge serving cocktails. Meals will highlight Spanish cuisine with regional products including olive oil, sherry, and Jabugo ham. The service avoids overnight travel, allowing guests to enjoy both local nightlife and daylight views of the Iberian landscape.


Accommodation ranges from Grand Class rooms, equipped with convertible twin beds, to larger Deluxe Suites with queen beds. All cabins include private bathrooms, minibars, wardrobes, and panoramic windows. Crew members provide multilingual service throughout the trip.

Nightly entertainment will include live music, parties, and cultural programs, while off-train excursions feature winery visits, equestrian shows in Jerez, and artisanal cheese tasting in Castilla-La Mancha.

Fares for the 2026 season start at €6,600 per person in a Grand Class room on double occupancy. The fare covers excursions, entrance fees to monuments and museums, and all meals on and off the train. Drinks outside mealtimes, laundry, and tips are charged separately.

Nine departures are scheduled for 2026, beginning April 5 and continuing through October 4. Bookings are available online via the train’s official site, through Spain’s national rail operator Renfe, or by contacting Renfe’s luxury tourist trains division.
