Stayed at Astoria Palace - Valencia & Province, Spain.
Location is perfect if you are looking for city center experiences. Everything is withing 2-5 minutes walk: shops, restorants, etc. Also it is very close to train station which is convenient.

Stayed at Barcelo Sants - Barcelona, Spain.
The Metro (underground railway) is the best way to get around Barcelona. It is easy to use, quick and cheap. Single journey, 10 journey or all day tickets are available. There are stations at almost all the places of interest in the city. The Tourist Bus is very good too but more expensive. The ticket lasts all day and you can get on and off as many times as you like. A useful guide book is handed out on the bus which gives info on all the sites to see. This bus stops at all the right places and nothing is missed. The Rambles is the place to be in the evening. There are lots of interesting people to watch and places to each and drink. It stays busy all night and there are alot of interesting stalls selling goods for all you shopaholics. We loved our visit to Barcelona and we intend to go back again next year.

Stayed at Barcelo Hotel Nervion - Bilbao, Spain.
The hotel is in a perfect situation for us, on the river away from the bustle of the town, but only a few minutes walk from the shops and excellent facilities of Bilbao. We walked around the town, visited the Guggenheim Museam, walking back along the riverside promenade, not needing to take a taxi. We could not help noticeing how clean and tidy everywhere was; the buildings in good condition, the roads well maintained. It looks as if the town planners have got their formula right for decades, it really is a super city to visit. It has a very high percentage of faashionable residents too, there were a lot of people around the shops very well dressed and with very good manners too. The Basilica of Begona was lovely, and the whole area fascinating. The airport is a model too, very well designed, built and run. We were looking forward to visiting Spain, but were overcome by the whole place and warmth of the people we met. A must to revisit.
