Aparthotel PuertoCarmen Puerto Del Carmen

Our final day, and from Madrid it was off to Bilbao and the Guggenheim, followed by a night encamped at the ferry port.... Lym was STILL cooking, folks, even sat on the concrete of the ferry port... as our posh caravan neighbours came out in the morning to wish us good morning, shaking out their table cloth ...

Having disembarked the Pride of Bilbao, following our two day mini-cruise (the highlights of which were DVD horse races, bingo, Geordies on the lash and two memorable dining experiences at Langans Brasserie), we faced the delights of industrial Bilbao, which proved to be a fitting introduction to North Spain. Undaunted we headed to ...

... distance I can make out the Pyrenees. And just on the other side, we’ll be coming in to Bilbao. Not sure if preparing myself mentally and moving my watch to Spain-time did it, but I’m feeling quite refreshed right now despite the fact that I didn’t sleep much on the flight over the ocean. The cabin is being prepped for landing so I’m quitting now, but I’ll pick up once we ...

Leaving San Sebastian behind we drove to Santander to spend the night. With nothing more then the car, no place to stay and no plan. As luck turns out we found a cheap Pension to stay at, and ate in their quaint little restaurant, treated to warm hospitality, good food, and free Grappa and Lemonchelo

Urghh long, long bus journey from Valencia. Sleeping tablets helped, but what didn't were the rude Spanish couple behind us who persisted on banging on the back of our seats all journey. They seemed angry that we were using the recline function which we had paid, and were entitled to use...

Anyway, arrive at about 8 or something where we got ...

... heels everywhere--and they are usually red or fake leather...ha ha. It is hilarious. They also wear the cheap jewelry, which I admit is making a comeback, but it is really excessive here. Some of the girls can really pull it off though, impressive I know. The negative points, there are people who really hate Americans. Most are indifferent, and some are even happy we are here... Anyway, it is scary how much they know about America. I met some ...

... original architecture with some fresh thought. The large playground and ice cream stands of the adjoining park draw little ones and their parents for play, which could consist of anything from kicking a soccer ball to chasing a pigeon. Walking back toward the hotel by way of the Guggenheim - for our first up-close look - we stopped for a beer and some café in a busy Casco Viejo plaza. After changing clothes and getting a bit of rest, we headed out for dinner, but since the ...

... approached the painting for closer inspection, you found that these 'people' were nothing more than big globs of paint, not actual defined 'people'. Once we got outside, we walked along next to the Guggenheim and up to the Calatrava Bridge, modeled after the idea of a violin bow. It got really windy and cold. Then we took the tram to a Sheraton hotel and convention center. Both were beautiful. The hotel had rose ...

... of the city, the roads were now closed and a new building development was taking place. Not your usual lets build ourselves some el cheapo housing, these were museums and opera houses. **** the people I say !!!!! So we carried on until it was time to catch a bus to go back to the airport. As we were lined up, there was a young English boy in front of us. Now normally, I don't put a label on people, as I have had a shaven head and for many years, i have had long ...
