Al Ándalus: Spain’s south
11-day train adventure tour with the legendary Al Ándalus through Andalusia.
Andalusia – a melting pot of oriental and occidental cultures. Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs have created a unique cultural landscape here. An enjoyable train journey on the legendary Al Ándalus takes you with your German-speaking tour guide to gleaming white mountain villages and the most beautiful cities in Andalusia: Seville, Córdoba, Granada and Ronda are just some of the highlights of your trip. Exclusive insights into the traditional culture and exquisite culinary delights of Andalusia round off your eventful trip.
The Must-sees of the trip
- Welcome to Al ÁndalusOn a city tour, you will visit the historic centre of Seville. In the early afternoon, you will enjoy your first lunch together. On the subsequent walk towards the railway station, you will visit the Plaza de España with its numerous photo opportunities before it’s time to board! After a warm welcome, you will move into your compartment in the Al Ándalus. Enjoy your dinner on board as your train rolls towards Jerez de la Frontera. You will stay in your comfortable compartment for the next six nights.
- Along the Costa de la LuzToday, you will travel along the Strait of Gibraltar to Tarifa, the southernmost point of mainland Europe. Enjoy the unique view of North Africa before visiting the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia in a picturesque location by the sea. In Seville, marvel at the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and then enjoy a typical Andalusian dinner. You will stay in a deluxe hotel in Seville.
- From Ronda to CórdobaBuilt on a mountain ridge, right on the edge of the El Tajo de Ronda gorge, through which the Guadalevín flows, the sight of the city is fascinating and unique. In addition, the mostly whitewashed buildings tell many stories from the times of Roman and Moorish rule. During lunch, the Al Ándalus rolls towards Córdoba. A city tour gives you a first impression of the emirate and medieval caliphate of Al Ándalus, at that time the largest, most cultivated and richest city in Western Europe.
