"On the journey's penultimate day, travelers will be completely immersed in the Unesco-listed city of Toledo, via tours of the town's Gothic and Moorish architecture, as well as its cathedral, 10th-Century mosque, and two synagogues. Later that day, another World Heritage Site will be on offer: the Royal Palace of Aranjuez and its gardens, the ornate former hunting lodge of Phillip II, the 16th-century king of Spain."
"Aboard the train, travelers will relax in glamorous train cars dating back to the 1930s, with rich wood paneling and opulent furniture upholstered in velvet and silk. Travelers should be assured that the fun doesn't stop when the excursions are done for the day. There are plenty of onboard festivities each night, with guests treated to live music performances, parties in the bar, dancing in the historic ballroom car, and cocktails in the train's lounge car."
