Blooming Love in Spain: Vishal’s Honeymoon Trip with Thrillophilia
Getting married marks the beginning of a beautiful new chapter, one that deserves to be celebrated with memories and quality time together. And our honeymoon was an opportunity to deepen our bond and nurture the love and joy we share. I wanted this experience to be something truly special, and knowing Radhika’s vibrant and adventurous spirit, Spain seemed like the perfect destination.
As a football fan, I naturally gravitated toward Barcelona, while Radhika, an architect with a passion for art, was excited to explore cities that offered stunning architecture and world-class galleries. We had so many wonderful options to consider, but the planning process quickly became overwhelming. To make everything easier, we decided to trust Thrillophilia with a well-curated package.
From the initial trip planning to providing invaluable insights about Spain, their team ensured our journey was seamless and stress-free.
The Romantic Adventure Begins…
Stepping into Barcelona was an instant energy booster as we saw the lively streets and captivating buildings. We started by visiting Camp Nou and I was overwhelmed with so many emotions as my lifelong dream was coming true. Walking through the iconic stadium, standing on the pitch where legends have played, was surreal. Radhika could feel my excitement, and we shared a moment of pure joy, taking in the history and the atmosphere.
We also explored the architectural wonders of the city starting from the awe-inspiring Sagrada Familia. Walking through its towering building and intricate interiors was a humbling experience. The play of light through the stained-glass windows created a kaleidoscope of colours that left us in awe. Every corner of Barcelona seemed to have something new and beautiful to offer.
One of the most romantic experiences was a candlelit dinner at a quaint restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean. As the sun set, we enjoyed fresh seafood, sipping wine and savouring each bite and sharing our life stories. The gentle breeze, combined with the intimate setting, made it feel like time stood still. It was the perfect end to a perfect day and a memory we will treasure forever.
Party on the Beach
Our next destination was the city of Valencia and it quickly became one of our favourite places on the trip. On our first day, we started by visiting the famous Malvarrosa Beach. The soft golden sand and clear, calm waters were the perfect spot to relax. We spent hours walking along the shoreline, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
As the evening approached, the beach bars came to life, buzzing with energy, so we decided to stay and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. We started grooving with people, laughing and having fun, sipping cocktails, and feeling the warm breeze. It was the perfect way to experience the lively side of Valencia, and we couldn’t have asked for a more memorable night by the sea.
On our second day, we went on a walking tour of all the heritage sites. The old town was full of charm and we explored its narrow streets. Then, we visited the stunning Valencia Cathedral, where we admired its intricate architecture. We also explored the nearby Plaza de la Virgen, where the atmosphere was lively and filled with history. The tour gave us a glimpse of the city’s rich past, blending tradition with modern life. Radhika was thrilled after learning about European architecture and was in awe!
In the afternoon, we visited the L'Oceanografic Aquarium and walking through the tunnels with sharks and rays swimming above us was incredible. The entire experience felt like stepping into a different world. Valencia gave us many memories and many stories to hog the social media!
A Romantic Excursion
Our experience in Seville was absolutely magical. One of the first places we visited was Plaza de Espana. Walking hand-in-hand, we marvelled at the stunning architecture. The grand semicircular building and the canal surrounding it were breathtaking. We sat by the water, taking in the beauty of the colourful tiles and the serene atmosphere. It felt like the perfect spot to soak in the vibe of the city and watch people go by.
That evening, we went to watch a Flamenco show. The passion and energy of the dancers captivated us both. The music, the dancing, and the powerful emotions in the performance made it feel like we were experiencing something truly special. We couldn’t take our eyes off the stage, and the vibe was so contagious that we also started grooving in our seats.
The next morning, we enjoyed a quiet breakfast at a cafe with a romantic view of the city. We ordered a traditional Spanish omelette, and it was absolutely delicious. The warm sun, the soft breeze, and the delicious food made it the perfect setting for us to enjoy each other’s company.
And, we were all set to go to our final destination - Madrid!
Park, Churros, and Us
Our last stop in Spain was Madrid, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. We started our day at El Retiro Park, strolling through its marvellous structures and also rented a rowboat, and enjoyed the calm surroundings. It was a perfect place for romancing in European style.
Next, we visited the Balloon Museum, which was a fun and unique experience. The museum was full of colourful, creative balloon art, and we spent hours exploring the exhibits. It was a very different experience and we clicked hundreds of pictures in the fun photobooths.
After such a fun time we were craving for something sweet. The famous churros and chocolate were calling us and we had a hearty time savouring the sweet dish, laughing and talking. Finally, we explored Madrid’s streets on a Segway tour. We zipped through the streets, passing beautiful architecture and lively squares.
It was the perfect end to our Spanish adventure, and we felt so lucky to have experienced everything Madrid had to offer.
