Valentine's Day in Spain!! :)

When you think of  Spain or if you have ever been there it is a beautiful romantic destination! Spain celebrates Valentines Day in February too. This day is a major festival in Spain and foreign tourists fly for an enjoyable experience. They arrange the festivals with Spanish style with a little cultural influence from America, through popular media. 
SPAIN'S TRADITION:
This is a day of happiness and excitement. The most common custom thing to do on this day is exchanging gifts with love messages. People dress up and go dancing with their loved ones. Young men give flowers, rings, perfumes, gift baskets, or photos as their gifts. Roses, chocolates, candies, and cards are the most popular gifts. In Spain, Valentine's Day is considered to as a lover's day. Some travel to Madrid and Barcelona to have an enjoyable experience there with there significant other. Valentine's Day in Spain is like any other parts of the world that celebrate it but in my opinion I believe it is the most romantic places to be on that day.

  1. Hi Lisa,
    Do you know when their tradition started and perhaps who started it and how?
