My  Exclusive Journeys Introduces Luxury Tours of Spain

and St. James Pilgrimage by Train

Miami, FL, June 21, 2010—With a mostly-Spaniard staff and vast experience in travel to Spain, it seems natural for My Exclusive Journeys to turn its attention to that country.  And while the staff of My Exclusive Journeys likes best to custom design journeys to Spain, their informative web site also offers a variety of luxurious tours:

·         Andalusia Spellbound

·         A Taste of Spain (Cava toast included)

·         Spain for Gourmets

·         Tales of Al Andalus

·         Madrid Escapade

·         Medieval and Moorish Spain

·         Spain in Two Nutshells

·         Jet Set Spain

Especially timely in this Holy or Jubilee Year of St. James is their St. James Pilgrimage by Luxury Train, which departs every other Tuesday through October 19.  Instead of walking to Santiago de Compostela, pilgrims can now travel on the luxurious vintage Transcantabrico Train, enjoy gastronomic specialties and see all the sights along the way.  The 14-day, land-only tour, which costs $6,414 per person, double occupancy, starts in Madrid with MEJ’s signature “Unwind Program” and a soothing massage.  After three days in Madrid that include a tapas and flamenco evening, there’s a flight to and free day in San Sebastian, “summer resort of kings” and home to some of the world’s most celebrated restaurants.

There participants board El Transcantabrico for a luxe journey, visiting Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum and old quarter, the isolated La Hermida Gorge and Saint Toribio Monastery, and the Covadonga Shrine in the Picos de Europa National Park.  After a trip back in time to medieval towns, old fishing villages and the seafaring region of Galicia, the train arrives in Santiago for a visit to the imposing cathedral and the shrine of St. James, where the pilgrimage ends.  On the next-to-last day a leisurely excursion from Santiago provides an introduction to Galicia’s wines, manor houses and dramatic scenery as well as lunch at a traditional hacienda.

The whole trip is guided, includes airport transfers, daily breakfast, many other meals, and the very best hotel accommodations: the Ritz in Madrid, Maria Cristina in San Sebastian and the Parador de Santiago (the famed Hostal dos Reis Catolicos).
