Spain’s luxury tourist train, Al Andalus, is set to celebrate its 40th anniversary with an exciting new route that brings Madrid into the spotlight. Starting in 2026, the Spanish capital will mark either the starting point or the end destination of this exclusive journey for the very first time.

The updated itinerary will preserve the train’s signature format of seven days and six nights, offering travellers an experience of elegance and comfort. In addition to its classic Andalusian stops, the route will expand to include destinations in Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha, and the Community of Madrid, creating a richer and more diverse exploration of the region.

This new chapter for Al Andalus reinforces its status as one of Europe’s most luxurious trainlines, combining exceptional service with a curated journey through Spain’s most captivating destinations.

Ahead of travelling to Spain and its islands, visitors should check the requirements of the European Union’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) which is gradually being implemented across the destination:
