IBIS Interested to see that IBIS was a frequent choice for you, as it was for us in Spain a few years back.

3.They notice that you are back and only ask to be polite (51%).
So in order to answer that age old question “How was your holiday?” I have decided to write this Travel BLOG for the 3% mentioned ... full info
