Tour Overview
This wonderful coach holiday is based in the popular resort of Roses, on the Costa Brava, Spain and features a number of rail journeys around the Pyrenees. A highlight on this holiday is the Yellow Train of the Pyrenees, one of the great railway journeys of the world where the track winds through leafy forests. However, you can also enjoy breathtaking scenery as we ride on the Rack Railway up to the Sanctuary of Núria. Plus, you can travel on the Train du pays Cathare et du Fenouillèdes (also known as the Red Train), on a railway which, in some parts, has been in operation since 1901.
