THE TRANSCANTÁBRICO GRAN LUJO

Santander City Council
Today, we enjoy lunch on board our beloved
train, which rarely exceeds 70 km/h. Ahead
lies Santander and a packed, panoramic visit
to the stately capital of Cantabria.
Santander offers a blend of elegance and na-
tural beauty, uniting its two souls: the historic
city centre nestled around the bay, and the
coastal area, which includes the Península de
la Magdalena, the seafront promenade, and
beaches such as El Sardinero.
Dinner is served at Querida Margarita (El
Serbal), and back on the train, we are trea-
ted to yet another entertainment show—each
night brings something new and delightfully
unexpected.
The train continues its journey towards Ca-
rranza, nestled among green valleys and
mountains, where the peaceful surroun-
dings invite rest and reflection. We set off
very early, and as we sleep, we leave be-
hind Cantabria and cross into the Basque
Country. First stop: Bilbao.
