Getting around by train Bilbao

Cercanias trains towards Valmaseda (Las Encartaciones) and regional trains towards Santander and León. This is also the case of the tourist Train Transcantábrico, which runs through the entire north of Spain to Santiago de Compostela.

Bilbao Main Station. Links with the major cities of Spain and regional train lines.

This train crossing northern Spain has existed since 1983. A convoy of time-and-car shows travels almost 800 km between Santiago de Compostela and San Sebastian, with visits every day in the different stages of travel (Bilbao, Santander, Gijón, Oviedo, etc.). Timeless, superb and expensive.

The Euskotren regional trains, managed by the Basque Government, provide intercity connections in the Basque Country. The Bilbao-Bermeo line (E4) provides connections to Guernica and the Urdaibai reserve, among others. The Lasarte/Oria-Hendaia line (E2) - better known as the Topo - provides connections between San Sebastián and Hendaia in around 40 minutes. The Bilbao-San Sebastián line (E1) is useful for getting around the coastal municipalities (Zarautz, Zumaia, etc.), although the journey between the two cities is very long (more than 2.5 hours and 30 minutes).
