Historic trains

San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Aranjuez and Alcalá de Henares, places declared World Heritage by UNESCO, are less than 50 kilometers from the center of Madrid. This recognition certifies that its landscapes, its architecture and its traditions are unique and are set in universal values. They are international benchmarks and great examples of the cultural diversity of the planet.

An original way of approaching these places, learning about their past and deepening their surroundings, is through the historical trains that connect them with Madrid. A journey through time that will make the visit a unique experience.
These unique trains, both for their design and for their tourist and didactic activities, show us the past and present of the railway. The means of transport that, in the nineteenth century, inaugurated the modern era with the communications revolution. At that time they were heading to a new era. Now they invite us to know our past better. Two trains Two times Two destinations

The first train travelers knew that progress would circulate on those rails. Routes that could take weeks in a horse carriage, the train reduced them to hours. The ability to transport people and goods at that speed, never seen before, was a great advance. A clear advance towards the future. Everything changed with the train, which also became the symbol of the desire for adventure.

The rattling, the whistles and the smoke from the locomotives represented a revolutionary way of traveling and getting to know new and unusual places.
The citizens of Madrid and the great capitals of the world were surprised to see these steam engines? Crossing the fields? in record time. What would be the following? Can you fly?

Travelers on the train!
Anyone who gets on the tourist trains of Madrid today can feel like those first travelers. Historic locomotives, cars with bodywork and wooden seats, guillotine-like windows and balconies at the ends.
At the rate that our pioneers perceived we will be able to contemplate trees, plants, birds, geology and villages with History. In short, a wonderful heritage and natural environment that awaits us in the Region of Madrid?
