72 CAPTAIN'S CHOICE | Europe 2017 El Transcantabrico Gran Lujo During our adventure through Northern Spain and The Douro Valley (pages 24–29), explore a side of Spain that others miss on El Transcantabrico Gran Lujo. There's simply no train in Spain better equipped or more luxurious. Built in 2011 with just 14 cabins, your comfort was the first and last thought in design. There are no bunk beds – simply your choice of double or twin configuration. Train travel is during the day to ensure a comfortable night's rest – it also means you don't miss the changing landscapes along the way. Breakfast is served aboard each morning whilst most lunches and dinners are taken in fine local restaurants, giving you a taste of the local flavours. Wine, beer and soft drinks are included with lunch and dinner when travelling on the train. Deluxe Suite Features a living room, bedroom with a double bed or twin beds, and an ensuite bathroom.
