ROMANTIC
DESTINATIONS WORLD
Let romance be your compass to explore some
of the most amorous cities around the world
The
hurdles of everyday living, work deadlines, domestic to-do lists, etc, often
take a toll on our closest relationships and romance moves to the back burner.
Now imagine a chance to leave it all behind for a few days and have a go at rekindling that attraction. Experience a new destination together, take part in your favourite activities as a couple and spend your evenings sipping on champagne while biting into mouthwatering delicacies. Sounds like such an indulgence, doesn’t it?
Romantic vacations are becoming the go-to for many old and new couples looking for some time out for themselves. It offers them a chance to learn new things about each other and, when planned well, a romantic sojourn can definitely add more spark to your relationship.
So let your heart lead you to quaint Seville or to the exotic lanes of Marrakech, and find love renewed there.
SEVILLE
REGION: Spain I Love You = Te amo
The Spanish are known to be hotblooded people. They enjoy life and love with grand gestures and even grander celebrations. A visit to the picturesque city of Seville will add the same spark to your romantic rendezvous. Visit the Old Town district and spend lazy afternoons exploring the monuments like Alcázar palace complex, the Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indies. Dine on Andalusian delicacies like Pestiños de Miel, Gazpacho and Magdalenas at the quaint cafes tucked alongside the narrow sidewalks. At night, head out to one of the flamenco bars to watch the dramatic performances or better yet, take a dance class together and get onto the dance floor yourselves.
