The Routes of the Costa Verde Express 2024

Its history dates back to 1983 under the name Transcantábrico, considered the oldest tourist train in Spain. Later, two luxury trains were created based on this first Transcantábrico: Transcantábrico Gran Lujo and Transcantábrico Clásico. A few years ago, the Transcantábrico Clásico was transformed into what we now know as the Costa Verde Express, emulating the classic trains from the golden age of railroads, but with current comforts and technology.
