Touring Northern Spain by Rail - San Vicente de la Barquera to Llanes

Part 3 - San Vicente de la Barquera to Llanes - Enjoy more uninterrupted views of the line ahead as our train makes its way down from the hills to the coast, crossing several wide rivers on the way. We pass through coastal towns with occasional glimpses of the sea on one side and mountains on the other.

    Excellent CabRide video! Beautiful HD quality, solid camera mounting, and no music or other distractions from the experience of riding a train! I'm a big fan of carbides in 1-Japan, 2- Vietnam, 3- Switzerland, 4- UK (London area), and now, Northern Spain!) Maybe someday, there will be quality carbide videos of Amtrak in my native USA , but meanwhile, videos like this one keep me happy.. POST SCRIPT: After this message failed to post the first time, I returned to the video and found (around 19.00), a music soundtrack.. please, say it isn't so.. it was so good until this :-(

    Just got to see this video, amazing straight a ways and fast curves! I traveled in the same area by car, never got to see the area by train. The mountains are amazing and the fishing in the streams is pretty amazing. I like the video, nice job!(I think there is a "flat" wheel on that front set!).

    +Peter M Hi Peter, it's a beautiful, unspoilt place, I particularly liked Llanes, lovely people, great food and inexpensive. There is a hint of a wheel flat, once or twice the unit was required to stop quickly, but generally the train and the track was very well maintained.

    I placed a small camera in front of the train and left it running, whilst I traveled in the passenger compartment, then I retrieved the camera at the end of the journey. By doing this I was able to obtain the film without disturbing the driver whilst he was driving. Most railways do not allow the driver to be distracted whilst driving, hence they do not allow members of the public in the cab whilst the train is moving.

    The FEVE line goes all the way to Ferrol. Ferrocarriles de Vía Estrecha (Narrow-gauge railways). I think it is now the metre gauge as opposed to RENFE (Spain´s National Railway) which has the 1 vara gauge (1067 mm). The line along the northern coast of Spain has spectacular scenery.

I have read about the FEVE railways since my visit and realize there is a lot more to see, so I will return when time allows to enjoy more of this fascinating part of Spain....Tim.

    www.virail.com/train-oviedo-santander - I took a look at the internet and found this site. Llanes is a great place to spend a day or two itchyfeet2012.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/asturias-llanes.html. There are only two trains a day making the full journey between Santandar and Oviedo. The train is pretty slow giving plenty of time to enjoy the outstanding scenery. I hope everything goes well and you leave Northern Spain with many fantastic memories. LLanes is not pronounced lanes, but yanis, I turned up at Santandar station and asked for two tickets to lanes, eventually one of the staff realized I really meant Yanis.
