Costa Verde Express Map Luxury Train Club

The Costa Verde Express is an evocative way to travel through the rich landscapes of northern Spain between Bilbao and Santiago de Compostela in either direction. Along the way, regional cuisine, art, monuments, coastal views and landscapes are presented from the comfort of a 'train hotel'.

The itinerary makes Costa Verde Express a unique mode of transport for this less-visited part of Europe.
