(English) Barcelona, the never-ending honeymoon

Barcelona is a city with many different sides to it, but it’s a particularly special place for couples looking for a memorable break with plenty of romance. The city has all the perfect charms for enjoying a fantastic sunset, taking a relaxing stroll through some wonderful gardens, declaring your love on the Mediterranean coast, or simply enjoying an unforgettable meal with the world’s best views. Barcelona is brimming with love and not afraid to share it with all those loving couples who choose our city as the destination for their next romantic getaway.

Barcelona’s charming parks and gardens captivate all the couples who take a relaxing stroll through them, hand in hand. One of the most striking, but perhaps not very well-known spots for tourists, is the Parque del Laberinto de Horta. Being slightly removed from the busy city centre lends the park a much more intimate, magical character. The mixture of water features with plant life, as well as the panoramic views of the nearby Sierra de Collserola, make this an idyllic and wonderfully romantic spot.

With a little more hustle and bustle, but still retaining plenty of charm, Parque Güell is another of those must-see places when visiting Barcelona with your other half. Marvel at this example of one of Gaudí’s priceless works of art. But, if you’d rather be surrounded by greenery as you peacefully relax on the gentle grass, a visit to Parque de la Ciudadela is also a must.

Barcelona looks out over the striking Mediterranean, and few sea views like this have played host to so many declarations of love over the years. Barceloneta beach and its promenade are two perfect locationsfor relaxing as a couple to the gentle sounds of the waves and the delicate sea breeze. From the golden sands you’ll have the chance to experience unforgettable sunsets, where you can also gaze upon the mighty Mount Tibidabo, making this the ideal spot to enjoy the best panoramic views of the city with blue seas in the background.

From one mountain to another, Montjuic simply has to appear in any list of the most romantic places in Barcelona – and for a very good reason. The spectacle of light and colour conjured up by its springs at night time is a real delight for any couple looking to escape the capital.

In the same region you’ll also find other spaces that are brimming with romance, like the Plaza de San Felipe Neri, one of the most enchanting and mysterious corners of the Gothic Quarter, which also serves as a haven of peace and tranquillityright in the busy heart of the city.

To complete any of these romantic tours around the city, nothing beats letting yourself be seduced by a romantic dinner in a truly amazing restaurant. The Racó del Montblanc is an ideal place to sample the very best Mediterranean cuisine in an intimate yet friendly setting. All the better if you’re there on a Friday or Saturday, when a pianist performs live music to make every couple feel like they’re on a never-ending honeymoon.
