Would you like to have a romantic stay in Barcelona with your partner or would you simply like to take someone on a date, but you do not know where to begin? Do not worry, we understand that there are so many things to do in Barcelona that it can be easy to get lost with all the information. That is why, Barcelona-Home team, inspired by their own romantic experiences, have decided to create an itinerary with all the activities, places to eat and stay for an amorous journey in Barcelona.

Things to do

#Breakfast at the Terrace

First of all, how to start the day! If you want to start it romantically with your other half Barcelona Style, enjoy the breakfast privately on your terrace. You can go to the Boqueria market in the previous day and stock up on all the things you need for this sweet morning. There is also a Panadería i.e. bakery in almost every corner in Barcelona so you can pick up fresh bread or pastries in the morning when your spouse is still sleeping. After enjoying a delicious breakfast, you can go to the Ciutadella park which is ideal for a long walk but you can also row a boat on a pond that is in the middle of the park. Renting a boat for 2 people costs 6 euros for 30 minutes.

#Romantic travel with Vesping

#Relaxing at the Spa

After taking a long walk in the park relaxing at a spa helps to revitalize your legs. A couple of meters away from Ciutadella Park, you will find Aire de Barcelona, an ancient spa that was built in the 17th century. This old warehouse has a magical atmosphere with its stone arch gates, dim candle lighting and of course pools filled with warm water. At the spa, it is easy to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, forget the stress and spend some quality time with your companion. This is the perfect setting for a thermal bath with aromatherapy, massages and even a wine bath experience.

After the spa, you can continue your journey with a nice walk in the romantic back streets of the Gothic Quarter, the old town of Barcelona. If you feel like wandering a little further away from the city to a different setting go to the Parc del Laberint d’Horta. We can assure sure it is a blast for the eye with its labyrinth, canal, and gardens.

#Sunset at Bunkers de Carmel

We are now reaching the most romantic part of the day, sunset time. In Barcelona, you have several options. Indeed, you could rent a boat and enjoy the sunset in the middle of the sea in perfect privacy. If you want to experience an amazing view on Barcelona as well, you can go to Parc Guell or to Bunkers de Carmel where you can see the whole city from a lookout. The bunker was built during the Spanish civil war in 1973 and it is located on the highest mountain in the city.

You can get to the Bunkers by first taking metro L3 from the city center (e.g. Catalunya) and then by changing in Vallacarca station to bus V17 that will take you to the mountain. The trip takes about 40 minutes but the view is worth the effort. Not to mention that the area is more favored by the locals so it is a chance to get to know a bit more authentic part of the city. How about bringing a glass of Cava with you while enjoying the sunset with your companion?

Last but not least, there are many things you can do at night. For instance, you can go to watch the amazing show of The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc. In the show, the water of the fountain is synchronized to move together with music and lights. If you are feeling for something a little more festive, you could go to Los Torantos to enjoy an authentic flamenco show or to Jamboree for some Jazz.
