Al Andalus classic
train tour of Andalucia
 Al
Andalus Expreso is a luxury train tour, in the manner of
the Orient Express, which takes you
back to the glamour of the Belle Epoque.
To traverse Andalusia on board this train is a
special experience, a romantic journey marked with the stamp
of elegance and distinction.
Der Al Andalus Expreso besteht aus vierzehn
Waggons: einen Küchenwagen, zwei Speisewagen,
einen Barwagen, einen Salon- und Spielwagen,
sieben Schlafwagen, einen Dienstwagen und einen Generatorwagen.
Der Zug ist sorfältig restauriert worden, maintaining its
original décor
and adding all the comfort of the most modern trains. All
coaches are equipped with airconditioning and heating.
You spend all but one night right on board
the train, sleeping in comfort. The Al Andalus consists of
a total of 37 double Club compartments over its seven sleeping
coaches, five of which were built in France in 1929. You
will feel like a king as you travel in the same car designed
and crafted for the British monarchy for its journeys on
summer vacations to the Cote d'Azur. Its décor
has been further embellished and enhanced with the train’s most recent
improvements.
 The
compartments are comprised of two single beds, or if you
prefer, you may choose one of five double-bedded compartments,
all with private shower, toilet and wash basin for your personal
comfort. During the day, your compartment will take on a
different aspect, given that the beds fold away to become
comfortable lounges leaving a space in the middle for a table
and chair, thereby creating an ideal environment for reading
or for just enjoying the passing countryside. The compartment
also has a space to store your luggage, a wardrobe and drawers
for your clothes, not to mention your own private safe deposit
box. All compartments have airconditioning as well as heating
with individual temperature control.
Over
six days the train visits seven different southern cities
of Spain: Granada, Bobadilla, Ronda, Jerez de la Frontera,
Baeza, Seville and Cordoba. Train Package includes guides,
entrance fees, all meals and snacks.
 You can sign up for either the Madrid or
Seville packages but you need to book early, there are a
limited number of departure dates for the train tour and
there are only seven sleeping coaches with a maximum capacity
of 74 passengers in the 37 Club compartments.
By now you are probably wondering what it
costs. Well, it isn't cheap, we are talking about a luxury
tour, in a classic rail carriage. A package for two, with
double occupancy, will costs a little over 6,000 euros.
Travel Dates In
general; departures dates for the Al Andalus are once a week
in 'high season' April, May, June and September but with
just 2 departure dates in November and December. There may
be no departures after July 3 until the end of August.
