El Expreso De La Robla - Bilbao to Leon

Nine-day Northern Spain rail trip aboard the vintage luxury Robla train

Railbookers' Bilbao to Leon package is a nine-day, eight-night independent rail trip through Northern Spain built around La Robla, a vintage-style luxury train. The trip starts with two nights in Madrid, then travels to Bilbao to visit the Guggenheim Museum before travelers board La Robla for two nights in their own private en-suite cabin. The train stays stationary at stations overnight, so travelers get a full night's sleep while onboard, passing through Northern Spain and past historic sites connected to the Camino de Santiago, a historic pilgrimage route. The route continues on to Leon before returning to Madrid. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers experience this mainly through the train journey itself and the two nights in a private cabin. This suits travelers drawn to Spain's history and a slower, cabin-based rail journey rather than a city-hopping schedule.
