Forum Question Posted By: Replies:
Barcelona Barcelona Vacation + Marriage Proposal
Posted: Wed June 25, 2008 09:00 PM UTC
Its nerve racking to pop the question for men. Not for any other reason, when we know its the right decision, but to make sure the moment is perfect and romantic. I know that I won't be asking anyone else to marry me but her. So I have to make sure everything is in order.

I've looked around Barcelona Restaurants to find the perfect location and i think I have. Can you help me, if this is the right place. Its on the mountain near Tibidabo, in the Hotel La Florida. The restaurant is called LA ORANGERIE and apparently has the best views of Barcelona (over looking the city) I spoke with Matthew the Maitre-d and he says that I will get the best table for the evening with the best view. I believe him but I am worried about the traveling from Downtown Barcelona (AC Diplomatic) to the Restaurant. He tells me a cab right would be best, but If I can bring her up there earlier via The Train / Rail Car then that would be amazing. I am not sure how far of a walk we would have to make, especially seeing how we will be dressed to impress. Its our 5 yr anniversary (DID I MENTION IM NERVOUS) haha

please help with any suggestions!!!

Sounds perfect - she'd be a fool to turn you down... and if you've been together for 5 years already, she must know she's got one of the good guys!

Think I'd recommend the taxi, as although its not far from the end of the funicular if you are dressed up and she's wearing heels, it may seem like more of a trek.

Best of luck! let us all know how it goes! xx

Hi

Good luck! Romance is not dead then! Great!

Do the taxi ride because you'll both be dressed up AND save the funnicular railway for your romantic revisit in a few years ....you know... let's go back to Barcelona bit!

Have fun!
