Al Andalus: Seville - Madrid

Seven-day luxury train through Spain from Seville to Madrid

The Al Andalus, operated by Railtour Suisse, is a seven-day luxury train journey through Spain in Belle Époque style, departing from Seville and arriving in Madrid. This all-inclusive rail cruise visits eleven cities and towns, including the Moorish capital of Córdoba, the sherry region of Jerez, the Roman ruins of Mérida, the UNESCO World Heritage cities of Toledo and Cáceres, and the Royal Palace of Aranjuez. You spend three nights aboard the train in either a Gran Clase or Deluxe cabin and four nights in hotels at intermediate stops. A multilingual guide leads all excursions, and meals range from fine dining onboard to local restaurant lunches and a formal Spanish gala dinner with wine. Day three includes an equestrian ballet show and wine cellar visit in Jerez; day four features Roman archaeology in Mérida; day six takes you to Toledo and Aranjuez's royal gardens. The pace is relaxed, with substantial time in each destination and no onward travel days required. This journey suits luxury seekers, history enthusiasts, food and wine lovers, and travellers who prefer guided comfort over independent exploration.
