Train from Santiago de Compostela to San Sebastion/Donostia

[siseale94]

My wife and I will begin the Camino Finisterre Oct. 9th. Upon completion we would like to take the train to Donostia. In 2012 I completed the Camino Frances and took the train from Santiago to Bilboa and the bus to Donostia. Is that route still available or something similar? Renfe has not been very clear. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There is a RENFE train, Intercity 0280, every morning leaving Santiago 10:06 and arriving in San Sebastian 11 hours later before continuing to Irun/Hendaye. Seats should be booked at least the day before you plan to travel.

Thank you very much, is it possible to book as early as now?

There are several trains listed from Santiago to San Sebastian/Donostia for your date of travel so you should be able to book them now. No need to travel via Bilbao.

Note there are no direct trains. Transfers at either Madrid, Castejon de Ebro, Burgos, or Medina del Campo.

Note that trains involving a transfer at Madrid require transfer via Cercanias from Chamartin to Puerta de Atocha.

Further note the train described by Margaret is not listed yet. If you want that one wait a couple weeks to see if the schedule is updated.
