Valentines Day Barcelona! Ideas and Offers for spending an unforgettable day

Some people await Valentines Day with a lot of excitement, spending the hours before their romantic meal running around buying presents for their partner, and others say that it is “just another day alone”. Everyone, however, has at least once celebrated this day. Some argue that every day with their loved one is special, and that there shouldn’t be a set date to show their love. There is no denying though, that Valentines Day provides moments of intimacy, and the possibility to escape from the normal routine, and for this, there is no better city than Barcelona.

As there are different types of people, lovers and couples with different likes and dislikes, we have created the following groups, so take a look at what suits you best!

• Young Lovers/Love Birds – very romantic and dreamy
• Extreme Lovers – for those that life is an adventure
• Evergreen Lovers – the wisest lovers
• Anti-Valentines – the anti-romantic, who doesn’t particularly care for Valentines Day.

Love Birds

You are the ones that nobody can bear, but also all that they envy: extremely romantic, cannot live without love, and certainly without their dream partner! This advice is for you:

• Choose a sweet way to wake up your lover, and tell them “I love you”. If you can’t be bothered to cook, then you can order a basket of breakfast from ‘Matías Buenos Días’ and ask to have it delivered
• Want to grant your partner everything they want for the day? Carry a checklist of what everything is worth: a kiss, a massage etc. It will be very amusing to see what they will do for you
• Are you more romantic? With Baló Tour you can take a ride among the clouds in a hot air balloon – 150 Euro per person rather than 200. More info:
• Treat your lover to Hammam steam baths and massages at ‘Rituels D’Orient’ – a truly relaxing and sensual experience for each of you.
• Not all erotic shops are seedy. Some are very sophisticated! Take a trip to Sensualove where you can find interesting ideas and gifts, such as oil for massages, and much more!
• Keep your memories from this special day: contact professional photographer ‘Tom Hayton’ by phone on (+34) 622 075 396
• Invite your lover to a night of observing the stars. If it is cold, go to ‘Planetario’ – a very interesting experience!
• Go for dinner at ‘La Luna’ – perfect for a romantic, Valentines meal.
• Or, reserve a table for 2 at ‘Mirablau’ (C/ Manuel Arnús 2 Telf: 93 418 85 59) – situated at one of the most romantic places in the city, Tibidabo, where you can enjoy the best views of Barcelona together.

Anti-Valentines Day

You are of the ones that hate romance, think that Romeo and Juliette were from another planet and that Valentines Day is simply a customised festival of chocolates and flowers. Don’t worry; you are not alone among the network of people that are “allergic” to Valentines Day.

• • There is nothing less romantic or intimate than to be running with thousands of other people: maybe you could participate in the marathon of February 14th, organised by the Irish association ‘Croi’ and you will run through the whole city of Barcelona. Raise money for charity, it’s for a good cause!
  • You have broken up with your partner, have little to do, and can only see the love hearts of Valentines Day around you? This calls for a day of Paintball outside of the city with your single friends – it will relieve you of your boredom and be extremely entertaining!
  • Want to get back at your ex that broke your heart? Send them an alternative card. For inspiration visit http://www.meish.org - or perhaps you want to send them a box of bittersweet caramels? Look here: http://www.despair.com/- there are many of these types of things, and they can be very amusing!
  • Enjoy a crazy night out on Saturday, so that Sunday passes without a trace…except for the hangover! Go to the Seven Sins with Mark Thomson and DJ Roger C: funk, soul, reggae and hip hop from 23.30. The night is called Step It Up Valentines Special but you will be relieved to know, it doesn’t have anything to do with Valentines Day.
  • If you hate Valentines Day because you have not yet found your lover, then organise a party with your friends and acquaintances, have each of them bring another friend, who of course has to be single! Drinks? Give a touch of elegance and have some champagne or wine tasting. Take the positives from the day and enjoy the 20 %discount! This is an entertaining way of getting to know new people, and staying clear of the loved up couples. More info:

As every day is special for lovers, then you shouldn’t just look to show your love to each other on this agreed date of 14^th February. However, Valentines Day is clearly a time for romance and intimacy, and a chance to escape from the routine. For that, there is no better city than Barcelona!
