Europe may be known for its speedy and efficient railways, but a new train tour through Northern Spain is here to give riders a decidedly slower and more luxurious experience.
Costa Verde Express, a self-proclaimed “heir” to the former El Transcantábrico, is now accepting 2023 bookings for two exciting routes through what’s known as Green Spain (h/t The Times). During each of the six-day expeditions, riders will get up close to Spain’s diverse landscapes, including the mountains of Picos de Europa National Park and the rugged, untamed coastline. The train will be making stops in Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque country.

While the natural scenery is the star of the show, Costa Verde Express’s four elegant passenger cars don’t lack for grandeur. Each of the Pullman lounges is adorned with vintage design elements accompanied by rich furnishings and high-end finishes. This is where guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or a late-night libation. The tour also offers an array of activities on board including live music performances.
This first-class experience continues with 23 Deluxe Gran Class suites—the train itself can carry up to 46 guests. The stately, wood-covered cabins are outfitted with a double-bed, hydro massage shower/steam sauna, and large windows for gazing out at the panoramic vistas and atmospheric lighting. Beyond the amenities, the tour promises an array of fine dining both on board the train and at five-star restaurants during stopovers.
Route one embarks on a journey that starts in Bilbao and ends in Santiago de Compostela, while route two kicks off in Santiago de Compostela and concludes in Bilbao. Notable sights and day trips along the routes include the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Cave of Altamira, the Sanctuary of Covadonga, Lake Enol, Galician enclaves and the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
Packages for both itineraries start at €8,000 ($8,106) for two people or €7,000 ($7,147.88) for one person. The prices include a welcome drink and appetizer, all meals, an end-of-trip gala and tickets to museums, monuments and shows.

Brooke Shields has a message about how the world treats older women. The Endless Love star, 57, spoke to Gayle King for Oprah Daily this week, where the topic turned to the ways in which society approaches aging.
"Amber Rose is on a mission to empower women to embrace their bodily autonomy and sexual freedom after facing years of public scrutiny for doing so herself.The model, activist and singer first emerged in the public eye when she appeared as a leading lady in music videos and entered into a relationship with rapper Kanye West. Despite the name that she's made for herself by being an outspoken advocate for women and promoting feminism through liberation, Rose has found herself continually linked to the intimate relationships she's had with public figures including Wiz Khalifa, Machine Gun Kelly and 21 Savage." "I don't feel bad about anything. So if that makes me a hoe, I'm OK with that," she tells Yahoo Life in response to the criticism she's faced over the decisions that she makes with her body. "It's like, 'Amber's promoting promiscuity to little girls.' All these crazy narratives. It's almost insane. That's not what I promote. I promote grown women owning their bodies, dancing, laughing, dating, dressing with no shame. If people are not smart enough to do their research about me, that's not my problem."Pushing back against the standards placed on women is something that Rose has felt called to do since she was a young girl. She recalls her sexuality being used against her as bullies slut-shamed her in school. Although it didn't have an impact on the way that she thought about her body, Rose says it fueled her life's mission."
