Spain

Spain's a great place for loafing around on the trains and buses. Here are some ideas.

Getting there (from the UK) and around

Train

For details on getting to and around Spain by train, as always, my first stop is The Man in Seat61: https://www.seat61.com/spain.htm

Eurostar to Paris, then:

• TGV to Barcelona (or Figueres or Girona)

• TGV to Nimes (or Avignon) then TGV or TER to Cerbere/Portbou

• Night train to Cerbere

• Night train to Latour-de-Carol and train to Barcelona

• TGV or night train to Hendaye

Check out Rome2Rio for the more obscure options.

Coach

You can go by coach to Spain changing at Paris Bercy, so if trains aren't working for you, this is an OK plan B. Coaches take around 12 hours from Paris.

 (in fact it's how I first went to Spain as a kid).
