I'm going to Bilbao in June and I've always wanted to visit San Sebastian - are they day-trip distance apart? Is it a journey that is well-served by public transport? Has anyone on here been to either or both destinations and can recommend some sights? TIA

Bilbao and San Sebastian are connected by both trains and buses. Trains operated by Euskotren, every hour & journey time just over 2hr30mn.
http://www.euskotren.es/castellano/horarios/pd f/negua/Bilbao-Donostia.pdf - at the moment the fares page is "under construction" so you'll have to ring for fares (how's your Basque?)

Buses are run by Alsa, approx every 2 hours, journey time 1hr20mn (they use the motorway) - regular fare is EUR6.53 single. http://www2.alsa.es/portal/index.asp?lang=en & unlike the Euskotren site this has an English option.
