Narrative:

Weather was IFR in saez. Captain used autopilot on approach to runway 11. Captain disconnected autopilot at approximately 500 ft AGL and we continued a normal approach with gear and flaps in landing position and all checklists complete. At approximately 50 ft AGL we got a GPWS warning of 'too low terrain.' we were on both localizer and glideslope with no deviations. All systems normal and we landed without incident. Leaving the hotel the next evening the inbound crew reported that they brought us a 'good airplane' but that they; also; had gotten a GPWS warning of 'too low terrain' around 200 ft AGL.
