San Sebastian to Biarritz today.

[Stephen]

A Canadian friend arrives in San Sebastian around 1 o'clock today.
Whats the best way to get from there to Bairritz?

If your friend wants to get to Biarritz asap, best option would be the Euskotren to Hendaye/Hendaia. Trains leave every half hour (timetable here - San Sebastian is "Donostia" in Basque). From Hendaye you catch an SNCF train to Biarritz, trains every hour. For both trains, just buy the ticket at the station. Each leg of the journey takes around 30 mins.

If your friend wants to explore San Sebastian over the afternoon, there's a bus with Flixbus at 17:30, and with Alsa at 18:15. Journey takes an hour. Better to buy the tickets in advance, as the buses can get busy (note: might need a passport to make the purchase, as it's an "international" route).

Sorry, should have asked - is your friend arriving at San Sebastian Airport??

In this case, he/she should just catch the bus from the airport directly to Hendaye - the San Sebastian airport is not actually IN San Sebastian, it's in Irun very close to the French border! (see screenshot)
