Final Thoughts

A resident in Almeria also suggested that their perfect day “would be to take a drive to Carboneras and visit one of the many fish restaurants there, then come home to a night in by the fire and enjoy a tipple with the one I love.”

Eliis Wayman, owner of the La Cantina Social restaurant, said: “Being a romantic fool myself I always like to go for a romantic meal on Valentines. Whether I can get a lady to come with me is a different Matter! I have a lot of history with Hola Ola on the beach in Mojacar.”

“Perfect place to sit by the sea and enjoy some beautiful seafood. My family and I have been going there for years and have had many celebrations there. Raul and his staff has always looked after us. If you’re in the mood for a steak to give you the required protein to see you through a long night with the love of your life I don’t think you can beat La Cabana…and of course..we will have a candlelit evening at our little den of romance La Cantina Social in Turre.”

Woo your sweetheart with a Valentine’s weekend filled with sunshine, free tapas, breathtaking views, and a spot of culture.
