Perpignan to Girona on Sat 16th August. Does anybody know how frequent they are and if you have to pre-book the tickets. Thanks

There are two direct trains every day Perpignan to Girona, leaving Perpignan at 0856 and 1831.

Reservations are required; when I did the journey a month ago the morning train was full, so run down to Perpignan station several days before you travel to make sure of getting a seat or try booking on-line through www.voyages-sncf.com. Good news is that it costs only about €30.

You can do the journey using slower, local trains but the problem is that the French trains from Perpignan to the Spanish border at Port Bou are very infrequent and they don't connect with the local Spanish trains from there to Girona.

There is an alternative you may wish to explore at www.frogbus.com which is a new bus route between Perpignan and Girona. It is a lot cheaper than the train, more frequent and takes about the same length of time.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. I checked the frogbus web site and booked a ticket with them for 5 euros but it takes you to the airport in Girona and from there I can get another bus or taxi.

€5 sounds excellent and I know there are buses from the airport into town at Girona, as I have looked into that myself when planning journeys to and from the area.
