Thanks... i only realized after that Bilbao was probably a better option. I just thought after such a long haul of travel I would prefer to get to hotel quicker. Any tips on language barriers? Ettiquette? Do you tip taxi drivers? I will have to return to EAS on my departure at 7:30am so I imagine I need to be there at least 5:30...will it be difficult to get a taxi in the city at that hour?
