Romantic Barcelona
The city has a script for two: palaces with velvet seats, rooftops at sunset, stone baths and long clockless dinners. This day is ordered so nobody checks a phone.
The day for two
Soft morning in El Born with Santa Maria del Mar and vinyl shopping, long lunch, baths in the afternoon and dinner on a rooftop or in an Eixample townhouse. The Palau in concert as the perfect night if there's a program.
The sunsets that work
The Bunkers with a bottle and a blanket, the MNAC staircase with the avenue lit, or a sunset sail if the budget allows. All three are foolproof and the first is free.
Details that add up
A rose on the Rambla de les Flors on a Saturday, chocolate con churros mid-afternoon and a final walk through the old port. The city does half the work: you just walk it slowly.
