Illustration of Al Andalus Luxury train: Seville and Madrid

Wexas Travel's Al Andalus Luxury Train journey spans nine days from Seville to Madrid, traveling through the heart of Andalusia and beyond. You spend six nights in a Grand Class cabin aboard the legendary Al Andalus, a Belle Époque train with white-gloved service, while one night is spent in a five-star hotel in Seville and another in Madrid. The itinerary unfolds as a procession of cultural highlights: in Córdoba you see the Mezquita, in Jerez you watch an equestrian performance and tour a sherry bodega, in Mérida you explore Roman ruins, and in Toledo you walk the City of Three Cultures. Days move at a relaxed pace, with guided city tours, museum visits, and excursions by coach between rail stops. All meals, from breakfast buffets to gourmet dinners, are included, as are round-trip flights from the UK, transfers, and entry tickets. Multilingual guides accompany the entire tour. This package suits luxury-seeking history and food-and-wine travellers who prefer the comfort of escorted travel and want to experience southern Spain without the logistics.
