Romantic Honeymoon in Bilbao
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/13/05
My husband and I spent our second honeymoon in Bilbao, Spain. It was to be my first international trip... I was expecting anything from horrid outdated living facilities to uneatable meals. Well... Little ol' Bilbao, Spain and its lovely hotel Petit Palace truly SHOCKED me! I was proven COMPLETELY incorrect. The Hotel, the culture, the residents, the architecture... It was all relatively updated and modernized! Not only was it modern, but affordable! More so than if we would've stayed within the U.S. Don't get me wrong... The currency conversion within this period (Fall of 2004) really but a financial damper on things. We thought we were NOT going to be able to "live it up" :(
We were wrong... This lovely little establishment (hotel) allowed us to do just that! For far less than we expected! This chain also has MANY hotels in Madrid, so don't neglect to view those as well.
However; in my opinion... Between the modern european sytle bathrooms, to the romantic "cozy" balconies and spiral stair cases. This little (Petit) palace, was indeed able to live up to its name and thus warrant my respect, admiration, money and recommendation(s).
With Deepest Regards
