Although its origins go back much further, Valentine’s Day as we know it today goes back to the 18th-century, when it grew into an occasion in which couples expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards.

Happy Valentine’s Day – spend it in the Marina Alta and you won’t be disappointed.
