La Robla Route from Bilbao
At 2:00 PM we will wait for you at La Concordia Station in Bilbao, where we will proceed to collect your luggage. Barely an hour later, we will welcome you aboard the El Expreso de la Robla train and assign you to your comfortable compartment so that you can settle in quietly. Shortly after, the train will begin its journey to the first destination, Espinosa de los Monteros, for what promises to be a memorable getaway for three fantastic days and 2 nights. We will visit the north of Burgos, making the first stop in the city of Frías, a beautiful village of Las Merindades Burgos, and the Tobera waterfalls. Its green and mountainous landscape, together with its rich monumental heritage, give the place a special attraction that will not disappoint us. Back to Espinosa de los Monteros, we will enjoy dinner and overnight on board.
After a restful night, we will have breakfast in the elegant restaurant car of El Expreso de la Robla. Meanwhile, the train will bring us closer to Mataporquera. From here, we will travel by coach to the towns of Palencia where the most important Romanesque monuments in Europe are concentrated, right on the Camino de Santiago: Carrión de los Condes, Frómista and Saldaña. We will have free time to explore the location and continue the route through the Palencia Romanesque in the direction of Frómista, known as La Villa del Milagro. We will visit two of the most important monuments in the region, the Romanesque church of San Martín and the Canal de Castilla, one of the most important civil engineering projects in Spain. There will be time to wander around freely, until it is time to recharge your batteries with a delicious lunch made up of traditional dishes from the region. In the afternoon, we will visit the Roman Villa of La Olmeda and its magnificent collection of mosaics. Our luxurious coach will take us back to the train to make the journey to Cistierna, where we will have dinner and spend the night on board.
We will start the last day of our trip in El Expreso de La Robla with breakfast on board while we ride to San Feliz. Once at the destination, our accompanying coach will take us to the beautiful city of León. Accompanied by a guide, we will discover the historic center, the impressive Gothic Cathedral of León and the Basilica of San Isidoro, a Romanesque temple that exceeds a thousand years of history. After the tour, we will have some free time and will have lunch at the Parador Nacional de San Marcos de León, concluding at 4:00 pm.
