As we mentioned in this article<\/a>, Barcelona is a city packed with romantic charm – but Valentine’s Day isn’t celebrated quite so much here as elsewhere. In Catalonia, there’s a much older tradition of celebrating Sant Jordi’s Day<\/a>, which combines love, friendship and literature. In Barcelona, 23rd April is the day for celebrating all things romantic.<\/p>\n

Obviously, that shouldn’t stop you celebrating in style on 14th February!<\/p>\n

Breakfast in bed<\/h3>\n

\nStart Valentine’s Day on the right note by bringing your partner breakfast in bed. Why not stock up on breakfast treats at one of the best bakeries in Barcelona<\/a>?<\/p>\n

If you’re staying near one of the city’s markets<\/a>, even better – you’ll be able to buy fresh fruit juice to go with your croissants. Perfect!\n<\/p>\n

Flowers<\/h3>\n

\nTo top it all off, nothing says “be mine” quite like flowers!<\/p>\n

If you’re planning on presenting your loved one with a bouquet, we suggest a trip to the Rambla de les Flors<\/em>, which is lined with flower stalls.<\/p>\n

Another option is Navarro, a well-known florist’s shop on Carrer Valencia, near the Mercat de la Concepció<\/a>. The store is open 24 hours a day, so if you want roses at 2am, you know where to go!<\/p>\n

Close by, at 80 Carrer Roger de Lluria, you’ll find the retro and charming Flors Farrés<\/em><\/strong>. With personal service, a romantic atmosphere, pretty bouquets and magnificent orchids, you’re certain to fall head over heels!\n<\/p>\n

Chocolates<\/h3>\n

\"chocolates<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s a long tradition of chocolate-making in Catalonia, as cacao beans from the New World came into Europe through the port of Barcelona. \n<\/p>\n
