Stayed at Barcelo Hotel Nervion - Bilbao, Spain.

Tapas are the thing, not so much the fancy restaurants. Walking is the perfect way to get around although the underground is efficient too. It´s worthwhile to visit the outskirts of Bilbao by the coast.

Stayed at Maria Cristina - San Sebastian, Spain.
|
San Sebastian is a very clean city compared to other Spanish towns, however, the town is not as lively as southern spanish cities. The beaches are nice, but nothing outrageous. The Basque cuisine is one of the renowned foods in the world, and there are many great restaurants. Great seafoods and wines. Nice to visit for food, quiet vacation with a great food, but not recomended for people looking for Spanish style crazy partying. There are a few clubs and very clean and safe unlinke regular Spanish cities.

Bilbao was a positive surpise with the absolute top being the Guggenheim museum. Exploring Bilbao by foot can be recommended.

The extremely cheap airport bus goes to Plaza Muyoa (?spelling)not the Arenal bus station as my guidebook says - but taxis are very reasonable. Good trips to San Sebastian (buses on the hour from Termibus, near San Mames station take just over an our) and Burgos - a long trip but worth it. There's quite a good restaurant just down the road from the Hotel - turn right as you go out - there are 2 next to each other but I only tried the nearer one

Stayed at Gran Sol - Ibiza Island, Spain.
|
Hire a jeep (can do this through the hotel) and go up north of the island which is lovely. Ibiza Town bars are the best, and go on a daytrip to Formentera (where they shot some Bounty Ads). Turquoise sea and white sands galore. Ferry from Ibiza Town.

Stayed at Barcelo V Centenario - Caceres & Province, Spain.
|
Caceres is a remarkable place and worth visiting. Just walk around the old town and enjoy years of history all around you.

not great weather so probably a little biased but found some sweet bars to eat in and there is quite a bit to do outside of seeing the guggenheim ... although a little industrial in parts

The guggenheim is not open on mondays; perhaps use this day to visit San Sebastian, buses go every hour and take 1hr 10mins. The underground in Bilbao is cheap and fast, and as built by Sir Norman Foster is a sight to behold too!

Stayed at Las Adelfas - Cordoba & Province, Spain.
|
We came by car from Sevilla without a map from Cordoba. Thankfully, we found a nice person at a gaz station who explained how to find the hotel. It is beautifully situated. A very good place to stay after being in a busy town like Cordoba all day. Quite a long walk to the centre, but it is possible. At the end of the day we took a taxi back to the hotel. From the Mezquita approximately 5 Euro's.
