Based in the delightful resort of Roses, this holiday includes a ride aboard the quaint, tractor-hauled, tourist road ‘train’, which winds its way from the resort into the wooded Cap de Creus National Park. The historic Little Yellow Train will take you through the sun-kissed French Pyrenees from picturepostcard-perfect, UNESCO-listed, walled Villefranche-de-Conflent, across bridges and viaducts and through stunning scenery to Mont-Louis with its citadel and city walls. A 45-minute journey aboard the two-car Núria Rack Railway – through a steep, forested gorge to remote ski station and pilgrimage shrine Núria – and a final Pyrenean ride aboard the 100-year-old Red Train, travelling through the spectacular scenery of castle-dotted Cathar Country, complete a wonderful holiday.
