Thanks for alerting me to the deal. I took the plunge -- my first foreign Groupon. Fingers crossed -- I'm awaiting receipt of my voucher.

It wasn't easy to get the payment to work from the USA. First I tried Paypal. No go. Then I tried 3 credit cards, and then Citi's virtual numbers, and still "payment denied." Finally, I signed into paypal from a different window and then tried to make payment through paypal on the Groupon site. Voila! Success.

Now I'm just awaiting the voucher, and a response from the hotel that they will give me a reservation for the date I want. Hopefully, no complications.

BTW, I'm kind of excited because I find Spain to be expensive, the hotel looks very nice, and it will be good to get a "romantic dinner" that I don't have to pay "mucho dinero" for. Viva Groupon! (I don't know how to say that in Catalan).
