How to travel from Santiago to Biarritz?

[The Bartman]

I have to catch a flight from Biarritz, France on Sunday morning, October 28. What is the best way (convenience, time, cost) to get there from Santiago de Compostela?

The train is quite good - change at Hendaye at the border. It takes about 12/13 hours to travel what you walked in what? 4 1/2 weeks?

I think it leaves just after breakfast but there is a buffet car.

A friend caught the bus which travels closer to the coast but she said the toilet left a lot to be desired and you had to change vehicles and hope schedules married up.

Train details at renfe.es
Crossing the border is a bit of a hassle as Spain and France use different rail gauges.. You can get the suburban railway (Topo) from Irun to Hendaye, then a train to Biarritz
You could get off at San Sebastian and catch the direct bus to Biarritz airport, www.ouibus.com
