Install a towel rack in an outside wall

So when I moved into my place, there was a towel rack that was in my bathroom. Then when I went to red drill it and put it in right it was like I was hitting metal behind it, and I got scared that there were some kind of conduit in the wall. I have since figured out that what they did was add an extension to the house, and they never tore out the old outdoor walls. They just put drywall over the stucco so I'm trying to drill into concrete. My plan was to just get a concrete drill bit and make a hole all the way through and then put a regular plastic to hold up the towel rack. Will that work OK in stucco? submitted by /u/Tricky_Pop3170 [link] [comments]
