Once in Matallana, the bus will pick us up to go to Valporquero, crossing the spectacular Hoces de Vegacervera on the way. We will visit the extraordinary Valporquero Caves, famous for their stalactites, stalagmites and capriciously shaped lava flows, and for their impressive Great Rotunda with 100,000 m3 of underground void. Next, we will return to the train to travel to Cistierna, where we will have dinner and spend the night.
We will start this second day of the trip having breakfast in the restaurant on the train. While we get our strength back, the La Robla Express will take us to Guardo, in Palencia. Then we will board the bus that always accompanies the train, to go to the Roman Villa of La Olmeda with its magnificent collection of mosaics. We will continue discovering one of the best ensembles of Romanesque art in Europe on the Camino de Santiago, visiting the towns of Saldaña, Carrión de los Condes and Frómista, where we will have lunch. In the afternoon, we will approach the temple of San Martín, and the Canal de Castilla. Then we will return to the train to travel to Espinosa de los Monteros, in the north of Burgos. This beautiful town of Las Merindades Burgos will captivate us with its green and mountainous landscape, together with its rich monumental heritage. In this town, we will enjoy dinner and spend the night on board the train.
We will enjoy a comforting breakfast while we wind through the wonderful landscape of the Mena Valley that will take us to the final destination in Bilbao.
