Hello all,

I'm flying into Biarritz tomorrow, due to arrive in at around 1pm. I'm hoping to go directly from there to San Sebastian, and just wondering whether the path of least resistance is by train or bus? I walked the Norte in 2015 from Irun, and got a bus from the airport directly there. Is the same service available for San Sebastian?

Yes, I know I should have researched this myself before now, but I have been amazingly disorganised lately!!!

Both Alsa and Transportes Pesa run bus service direct from the airport several times per day. Journey time is 45 minutes. See more on www.Rome2Rio.com

It is best to avoid considering the train since many French routes are on strike.

Good luck and Buen camino!

15 16 17 of May are not strike days. So you could train to Hendaye walk out of the station turn right, in front of you is the Eusktren. A good journey of about 45 mins, trains are 2 or 3 an hour. Cheap.
