Illustration of Southern Spain Luxury Train: 1 Week

The Al-Andalus Train, restored in 2011 to blend 1928/1930 Belle Epoque charm with modern comforts, carries passengers through seven days of Andalusian history and culture. Euroventure operates this luxury service from Seville to Málaga, with Expert Tour Directors guiding visits to eight UNESCO-listed or significant sites including the Alhambra, Córdoba's Mosque-Cathedral, and the medieval towns of Úbeda and Baeza. Guests stay in Deluxe Suites or Gran Clase Rooms featuring hydro-massage showers, minibars, and complimentary internet; most nights are aboard the train in original Pullman cars where a-la-carte breakfasts, dinners, and nightly entertainment, live music, performances, and parties, unfold. A Sherry winery tour and Andalusian horse show in Jerez, combined with coach journeys to Cádiz and onboard meals in vintage restaurant wagons, define the pace. This journey suits luxury-seekers, history enthusiasts, and those who value guided comfort and fine dining in motion. The tour departs from and returns to Seville.
