Trip across Spain!

Filed under: Holidays — Sarah @ 08:48:54

At the last minute, we decided to travel across Spain over to Majorca!

We started by getting the ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao on the Pride of Bilbao ferry on the Friday nught and we arrived very early on Sunday morning.

The ferry drops you off in Santurtzi and from there we got a train over to Bilbao which only took about half an hour!

We walked over to our hotel and had a drink and some Spanish Omlette in the cafe. The hotel let us check in at 10am so we went back to bed for a while then went over to watch the Easter celebrations at lunchtime! It involved a donkey and lots of people in big hats!

We walked round the city and saw the Guggenheim museum, lots of little streets in the old town and we finally went for some tapas!

WWRY!

The next day we got the 10am train from Bilbao to Zaragoza - it would have been fine but we were one station away from Zaragoza when the train broke down. It was chaos and we didn’t understand much Spanish but after an hour, we were put on a minibus and taken to Zaragoza station and we arrived by about 5pm! The train itself was very nice and you could watch a film and have a snack!

Arrived at the hotel and they were playing Under Pressue, a bit later when I was in the hotel lobby they were playing These are the days of our lives! We went out for a wander round the city and Terry made up a sight seeing tour for us!

We went out for some dinner and ended up having mores tapas (croquettes are the best food in the world!). Then we were wandered round the town and caught more of the Easter celebrations!

I felt sick all the way over for 4 hours! We arrived in Palma quite late so went to check in at the hotel and then went out for a drink and some tapas at a Spanish bar we found off the main street!

The next day we walked round Palma old town for hours until our feet hurt then we had some tapas at a very expensive place around 4pm!
