Seville is a romantic city by nature. It has seen the birth of legendary literary characters, such as Don Juan, as well as key figures of the 19th-century Romantic movement, like the great poet Bécquer. That’s why, we at CoolRooms want to share with you the best plans to celebrate a totally cool Valentine’s Day in Seville.
1. Enjoy a cruise along the Guadalquivir.
A different way to get to know Seville and take advantage of its navigable river. At sunset, under the moonlight or the midday sun, you choose the moment. Many cruise companies offer private trips with lunch or dinner aboard. Some of them are Civitatis, Guadaluxe or Esturión Tours. Imagine drinking a glass of champagne with the Torre del Oro or the Giralda in the background.
2. Say “I love you” with flowers and chocolates.
Both traditions are quite set, not only in the Spanish culture, but also on a worldwide scale. The language of flowers or floriography, developed during the Victorian era, allows us to express feelings without the need for words, simply through the different species of flowers and their colours. Curiously, the “best artisan florist in Spain” in 2021 was the Sevillian Julio Boza. His store, La Floristería, and others like Búcaro or Cártamo are a guaranteed success.
The ones with a sweet tooth, for their part, can buy chocolates and other sweets in patisseries as emblematic as La Despensa de Palacio, working since no les tan 1743, La Campana, sice 1885 y some more modern ones like the French cake shops owned by Manu Jara.
3. Discover Seville’s most romantic spots.
The streets of Seville have a special charm. Her colorful façades, her cobblestone alleyways, her historical gardens are her impressive monuments are witnesses to the passing of the centuries. The cohabitation of different cultures in the city and the high concentration of artists have conferred it an almost fairy-tale-like atmosphere. Allow yourself to get lost in the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, where the Callejón del Agua (Water Alley) was a mandatory stop for romantic travellers and writers, such as Washington Irving. At the María Luisa Park, you will find Bécquer’s roundabout, probably the most romantic sculptural ensemble in all of Seville. And as the climax to your stroll, don’t miss out on the popular sunset view over Triana.
4. Attend a candlelit concert.
Fever came up with this proposal with the idea to offer more intimate concerts, accompanied by the soft light of hundreds of candles. Candlelight is present in over 85 cities in the world and Seville is one of the lucky chosen. The atmosphere and the sensory experience are joined by the wonderful locations in emblematic spots around the city. In Seville’s case, these are the Salinas House and The Tres Culturas del Mediterráneo Foundation. The tickets sell out fast, so it’s advisable to get them ahead of time.
5. Spend a dreamy night in CoolRooms Palacio de Villapanés.
This last proposal seems to us like the best way to end a day of pure romance in Seville. CoolRooms Palacio de Villapanés has created two special Valentine’s Day stays inspired by the most romantic songs in history. Enjoying the most exclusive luxury as a couple in our 18th-century palace is within your reach. Chocolate-covered strawberries, a romantic dinner, a holistic massage… Magic is guaranteed.
