Bilbao to SJPDP

Hi, it'll probably be easiest to take a bus from Bilbao-Bayona (company PESA), and then the train to SJPP from there:

(there are usually about 4 trains per day from Bayonne-SJPP, you can check times on the sncf website…)

p.s. note that while you can buy tickets for these trips at the station on the day of travel, you'll probably only be able to book online a couple of months in advance, so you might need to wait until June/July before booking anything!

There aren't direct trains from Bilbao to SJPDP and there aren't either direct buses. The best option would probably be that quoted by Jan_D (i.e.: bus to Bayonne and train from there).

The web of Pesa (the bus company from Bilbao to Bayonne):

The problem is logistics. The Pesa bus schedule from Bilbao is limited to 2 buses each day, so you will find yourself looking for a room for one night in Bilbao or Bayonne.

There is the option of taking the bus (La Union) from Bilbao to Pamplona, be picked up by Istvan and Barbara and taken to Corazon Puro for the night. In the morning they will drive you to SJPP. It worked well for me last October.

Check their website at http://www.corazonpuro.es/Enghome.html.

Since your avatar suggests you're cycling, here's another option:

You would take the Euskotren from Bilbao (Casco Viejo) to San Sebastian, and then “el Topo” on to Hendaye.

Taking the early train from Bilbao, you could do it all in one day - OR, San Sebastian is well worth an overnight stop if you can afford the time.
At the east end of the beach-front bike path is one of my favorite sculptures anywhere, Comb of the Wind by Eduardo Chillida.
