From Bilbao to Santiago de Compostela

The experience begins at 10:00 a.m. at Bilbao-Concordia station, where you are welcomed by the crew of the Costa Verde Express. After boarding and settling into your suite, Bilbao reveals itself through a guided visit that highlights its contrasts: industrial heritage, architectural innovation and vibrant cultural life. The Guggenheim Museum, the city’s most iconic landmark, marks one of the first highlights of the journey.

Back on board, lunch is served as the Costa Verde Express begins its elegant journey towards the Cantabrian coast. In the late afternoon, arrival in Santander, followed by a panoramic visit showcasing its bay, gardens and refined seaside character.

The day concludes with dinner in the city and a first night of deep rest, with the train stationary in the station, in the heart of the Cantabrian capital.

After breakfast, the day unfolds by coach towards one of the journey’s most striking landscapes: the Picos de Europa National Park. In Arenas de Cabrales, birthplace of the famous cheese, nature, tradition and gastronomy come together in a setting of remarkable beauty.

While you enjoy lunch, the train makes its way to Oviedo, the historic capital of Asturias. In the afternoon, a guided visit reveals its old town, cathedral and refined balance between history and urban life.

The evening concludes with dinner in the city, followed by a peaceful night with the train stationary, designed to ensure restorative rest before continuing the route.

During breakfast, the train reaches Ribadeo, the gateway to Galicia. From there, by coach, you travel inland to discover Taramundi and the Os Teixois ethnographic complex, a living testament to Galicia’s rural heritage, where time seems to stand still.

After lunch, the Costa Verde Express continues to Viveiro, an elegant Galician town with a strong historical identity. A guided visit allows you to explore its old town and appreciate its cultural significance.

The day concludes with dinner on board and a final night of rest at the pace of the north, with the train stationary at the station.

The Costa Verde Express is not simply a luxury train. It is a refined hotel on rails, created to showcase the most authentic beauty of northern Spain. From the very first moment, the pace softens. Green landscapes fill the windows, the Atlantic sets the rhythm, and the journey stops being a means to an end, it becomes the destination.

Designed to explore “Green Spain”: the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia, the Costa Verde Express blends the romance of classic rail travel with a distinctly modern approach to luxury: generous spaces, comfortable suites, thoughtful gastronomy and attentive service. Here, luxury is not something you display. It is something you feel, through time, place and effortless comfort.

Life on board

Life on board the Costa Verde Express unfolds with ease and a sense of calm. By day, the train becomes a panoramic lounge and a stylish retreat between visits: a place to read, talk, sip a drink, play a game, or simply watch the coastline and mountains drift by.

As evening approaches, the atmosphere naturally becomes more social. Live music, two bars and a dedicated dance floor set the stage for a lively night, while other lounges invite quieter moments, depending on your mood. After dinner, you can enjoy onboard performances, take a gentle walk in the town where you are staying, or return early to the privacy of your suite.

At night, the train remains stationary, ensuring truly restorative sleep. You rest in complete stillness, and wake up somewhere new. It is one of the Costa Verde Express’ most understated luxuries.
