Cavangal

I'm traveling from Santiago De Compostela to French Border and would like to hear if anyone knows of a good train service on that route. I could travel to Bayonne, S/Sebastian and Pau. I need to get to airport in Toulouse for flight to Milan. Does this overnight train pick up along the Spanish coastline or in cities Leon or Burgos enroute to France? If there is good service do they allow you to break journey for overnight and reboard on following day using same ticket? Thanks to all.

Cavangal - it is a long haul to go straight thru - the only direct train to France leaves Santiago around 9am and gets into Hendaye about 9pm! It would be impossible I think to reach Toulouse that day. By rail consider breaking the journey say in San Sebastian or elsewhere in Spain. All other trains take longer even and require at least one change of trains.

With apologies to the op I need some info re training from Porto to San Sebastian. Last year I tried to plan this trip and just gave up and only went to the Basque country. I even had to cancel my easyjet paid for flight to Porto. From Porto we were going to rent a car to SS but because of the drop off fees didn't. We would like to fly to Lisbon them go to Porto and then train to San Sebastian. Can anyone help? We hope to do this in September. We will be in London at our daughter's and would really like to do this trip.

You might want to start a new post, Porto to SanSebastian. I am going to book an overnight, using RailEurope, Lisbon to SanSebastian - not sure how close it goes to Porto. You can check at the German rail site, googe DB Bahn, I think that will lead you there to see the exact schedules, Porto to SS.

There is no direct train from Porto to San Sebastian, you would have to change in Coimbra (see bahn.de for schedules).

If I were doing that trip I'd fly into Porto, take the train to Lisbon and then the overnight train to San Sebastian/Donostia.
