Valentine's Day in Seville

Valentine's Day in Seville

Valentine's Day is a holiday of Christian origin that is celebrated every year on February 14 as a result of the kind works carried out by Saint Valentine of Rome, on love and affection. Created by the Catholic Church to counteract the pagan festivities that took place in the Roman Empire, it was one of the first festivals that meant the spread of Christianity throughout Roman Euraphrasia.

From the popular point of view, Valentine's Day is interpreted as a day to celebrate love and affection, regardless of the religion that is professed.

Seville is a city full of magical places to celebrate love, but there is a very important romantic icon from Seville, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. The nineteenth-century poet, whose death marked the 150th anniversary in 2020, has left timeless verses in his Rhymes that are a hymn to the exaltation of love. If your partner likes quiet and intimate plans, they will love walking the beautiful paths of the María Luisa Park, going through emblematic places such as the Plaza de América or the Plaza de España to end up at the Glorieta de Bécquer. On its benches you can admire the monument dedicated to the poet, where the three states of love are represented, while you read some of his most famous rhymes or place your messages of love on the shelf that the City Council recently recovered.

Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to once again explore the Guadalquivir by boat with your partner. There are boat trips of all kinds and for all tastes.

Giving visits to the spa, saunas or thermal baths is something exotic and the Arab Baths are its best example. Also known as hammam, they are quite popular in Andalusia and there are several in the capital of Seville, in some cases combined with other services of this type. The setting usually reproduces Muslim aesthetics and thus feels like you are immersed in Arab culture. Those who have tried them affirm that in the Arab baths you cleanse your body and also your spirit.

Get lost in the narrow and mysterious streets of the Barrio de Santa Cruz, where its narrow streets and small squares are the perfect setting for getting closer to the couple and for feeling for a while as if you were inside Don Juan Tenorio, a work to which various enclaves refer of this famous and picturesque Sevillian neighborhood. A walk along the route of the Plaza de Santa Cruz, that of Doña Elvira or that of the Alliance, to conclude the old corner of the kiss
