6 hours on the slowest train in Spain (Bilbao to Santander)

This was disastrous 😅

Santander to Bilbao on the FEVE

In this video, I take the FEVE train from Santander to Bilbao, known for being one of the slowest rail journeys in the country. This narrow gauge train runs along Spain’s north coast, offering stunning views — but our trip didn’t quite go to plan.

If you're considering train travel in Europe and want to explore lesser-known routes, this video gives a full look at what to expect on the north Spain train network. I cover delays, connections, and how the Renfe FEVE compares with other services like Renfe Cercanías.

Perfect for those interested in train travel videos, this vlog also includes practical Spain travel tips for navigating rural rail. Whether you're planning train travel across the region or just curious about how slow this journey really is, here’s the reality of taking the Santander train to Bilbao.
