Sud-Express train seat (8 berth compartment), Coach 21, seats 24 and 2
This was a reasonably expensive train journey (via Coimbra) that we needed to make to get to San Sebastian. (Some websites will tell you that there is a bus that makes this journey direct from Porto, however the Porto tourist office telephoned the local bus companies and were told that no such route existed as at May 6 2008 - as this route is mentioned on other websites, we suspect that it has been discontinued, or operates only part of the year.)
We went for seats instead of a sleeper because of the price, and a rash assumption that the seats would recline. They did not. We shared an 8 berth compartment with 2 others, who we dubbed Literary Spaniard and Swarthy Spaniard.
View: Variable
Cost per night: 59 euros each
Notable smells: feet
Recommended? No, only if you're desperate to get to San Sebastian overnight on a budget
