Costa Verde Express
From Santiago de Compostela to Bilbao
A six-day journey aboard the Costa Verde Express from Santiago de Compostela to Bilbao, travelling through Spain’s Green Coast with northern landscapes, characterful cities and slow travel aboard a modern luxury train.
Costa Verde Express
The soul of Green Spain, where the Atlantic meets elegance
Welcome to the Costa Verde Express: the contemporary luxury train designed to reveal northern Spain
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.
A modern train with a true rail soul: comfort, design and seamless flow
Unlike strictly historic trains, the Costa Verde Express was conceived as a contemporary luxury train, carefully remodelled to offer bright, spacious and highly functional interiors, without losing the charm of classic rail travel.
The entire train is internally connected, allowing effortless movement between suites and shared spaces. Its four lounge cars, genuine railway jewels, stand out for their elegant design, refined finishes and a warm, inviting atmosphere that accompanies the journey from start to finish.
The result is a natural balance: timeless rail spirit with 21st-century comfort, designed for slow, stylish travel and the reassuring feeling of being perfectly looked after.

Green Spain by train: a privileged way to experience the North
The Costa Verde Express travels through an Atlantic, vividly green Spain where sea and mountains alternate with cultural cities, historic ports and landscapes of striking natural beauty.
From Bilbao and its cultural energy to the Cantabrian coast, from Asturias’ dramatic scenery to Galicia’s distinct identity, the route offers an authentic, immersive perspective on northern Spain. Beyond the destinations, what truly sets this journey apart is how you travel: slowly, comfortably, and with real depth.
From the lounge cars, the landscape becomes part of the narrative. To travel on the Costa Verde Express is to experience northern Spain from the inside, at the pace it deserves.
