Tren Atlantico

The rugged sides of Spain and Portugal - crossed and discovered by train, beyond the vacation clichés. Where they border on the unbridled, cold Atlantic, both countries show a completely different side of their own.

Rugged cliffs, surfing paradises, steep vineyards and villages with centuries-old traditions: the train takes you from Portugal's west coast to the Spanish border in the northeast, a journey of discovery characterized by a variety of colors, landscapes and climates. The FEVE narrow-gauge railroad takes you through the contrasting landscape of northern Spain. From Bilbao in the Basque Country via Santander in Cantabria to Asturias. The train takes a good eight hours to cover 300 kilometers. A journey at the speed of earlier centuries, through a region that has retained its originality to this day.
