Al Andulus

The Al Ándalus: A Journey Through the Timeless Soul of Spain

Step aboard El Tren Al Ándalus, one of the world’s most luxurious trains, and experience southern Spain in unparalleled style. This seven-day journey through Andalusia and beyond combines the elegance of 1920s royal carriages with the allure of Spain’s most historic and enchanting cities.

From the passion of Seville to the grandeur of Córdoba, the Moorish splendour of Granada, and the sunlit vineyards of Jerez, each destination reveals a new chapter of Spain’s rich cultural tapestry. By day, explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites, ancient palaces, and whitewashed villages. By night, return to the refined comfort of your private suite, where exquisite dining, fine wines, and attentive service await.

With its blend of Belle Époque glamour, haute cuisine, and immersive cultural excursions, the Al Ándalus is more than a train — it is an invitation to travel through history, indulge in elegance, and rediscover the romance of the rails.
