    The rail gauge is different between Spain and France but I think some of the newer lines have been standardised. It used to be that you had to change trains while stop trains had some sort of variable system

    The route nowadays goes Barcelona -Figueres; Figueres-Perpignan by tgv ; and the back to Argeles, between 2.5 to 3 hours all in
    It's almost 3 hours just to Portbou

    See http://www.sncf.fr in the bottom right is the reservations section

    It's about 40 each way , it could be cheaper to try book seperately the first and second sectors. Perpignan to Argeles is 4.50 one way
