Spanish Green Coast: The Cantabrian Cornice

One of the most beautiful places in northern Spain is its Costa Verde and one of the most emblematic tourist trains in Spain traverses this area, namely the Costa Verde Express, a luxury train that runs along the Cantabrian Cornice. Through its windows, travelers can observe how the meadows and cliffs blend with the sea, creating spectacular panoramic landscapes. A unique panorama where nature, the sea, and the fishing villages create an idyllic and wonderful setting, making the journey on this train pleasant and grandiose.

The name Costa Verde stems from the color of this coastline, characterized by sandy coves and imposing cliffs, and occasionally deep estuaries where fishing villages shelter. Inland, green meadows and forests dominate, nestled under the mountains predominantly with pines and eucalyptus.
