Let me guess.<\/p>\n
You have no plans for tomorrow …<\/p>\n
Yes! tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n
\u2014Almu! Tomorrow is February 14th.
\u2014Coherent! Today is Tuesday the 13th … As we say in Spanish \u201cMartes 13, ni te cases ni te embarques\u201d \u2014answers Paloma.
\u2014Yeah, it’s a strange coincidence, isn’t it? The day of bad luck followed by Valentine’s Day.
\u2014Valentine\u2019s Day! I\u2019d forgotten.
\u2014As every year.
\u2014It is inevitable, if we miss the ads of Corte Ingl\u00e9s, we have no clue.<\/p>\n
If you have just moved to Madrid, you are forgiven. With so much change, accomplished and yet to be realized, you have the perfect excuse.<\/p>\n
Anyway, it’s a shame to miss the opportunity to celebrate.<\/p>\n
\u2014What are you going to do? Are you just going to stay home?
\u2014I just had a brilliant idea \u2014says Almudena.
\u2014Another? \u2014answers Paloma ironically.
\u2014I\u2019ll cook a romantic dinner at home.
\u2014I\u2019m going to book right now at … where?
\u2014It\u2019s a Wednesday, don’t worry, there will be a table available in every restaurant.<\/p>\n
To be honest, in Madrid there is no great tradition of celebrating Valentine’s Day, even if advertising is determined to state the opposite. You\u2019ll see offers in all media and social networks. And, of course, we all love to receive a gift and partying.<\/p>\n
\u2014I fancy a restaurant with views to the city skyline.
\u2014I\u2019ll think about the menu \u2014says Almudena, puzzled over her idea.
\u2014Or a romantic in a garden?
\u2014And the shopping list.
\u2014Or the famous fashionable one?
\u2014Dessert! I forgot about that.
\u2014What about our favorite of the season?
\u2014And the drinks!<\/p>\n
Finding a last-minute Valentine’s Day plan is closer than you can imagine. And it’s very easy!<\/p>\n
There are hundreds of restaurants, all kinds of cuisine, atmosphere and budget. Apart from the international and reliable Trip Advisor, you can take a look at Gu\u00eda del Ocio<\/a> and, of course, ask us about our favorite places.<\/p>\n In case you prefer an intimate celebration at home, you can arrange a quick dinner by buying something special at El Corte Ingl\u00e9s<\/a> (gourmet), S\u00e1nchez Romero,<\/a> Mallorca<\/a> or Embassy<\/a>. In these places you will find everything in one place and you\u2019ll find them all over Madrid.<\/p>\n \u2014I\u2019m thinking of doing something different. There are also extravagant, fun and imaginative plans. Most places offer a special event, just search Google Valentine’s Day in Madrid.<\/p>\n \u2014Well, I was imagining something different though. Actually, more along my lines. In case this 2018 Valentine Day, circumstances don’t allow you to celebrate it the way you would in your own city, take the opportunity to start a new tradition. Besides, we already know that it is only a commercial holiday and that Love with capital letters must be celebrated 365 days a year.<\/p>\n If you plan to move soon, you will find all the relevant information in The secret of relocating to Madrid<\/em><\/a>. If, in addition, you need help with the organization or even if we accompany you, check out our services<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the meantime, you can receive regular information by filling in this questionnaire. And if you find it useful, we thank you for sharing it.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.101″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n
\u2014Like getting married in Vegas?
\u2014Precisely, I just saw that in Hard Rock Cafe<\/a> you can reserve a Las Vegas style “chapel”.
\u2014And you’ll be dressed as Marilyn, of course!
\u2014Perhaps. But honestly, it doesn\u2019t suit me that much.<\/p>\n
\u2014Totally! I didn’t see you in a chapel in Vegas. What about a concert?
\u2014Good idea! I’m in.
\u2014Great! So you save yourself to realize all restaurants are completely booked.
\u2014I got it! The Chinese New Year’s Concert in the Auditorium<\/a>. What do you think?
\u2014I love it. We end double-celebrating: Valentine’s Day and another New Year.<\/p>\n
