Three ideas for a Valentine's Day getaway 2022
We are entering the most romantic month of the year, a perfect month to enjoy with the ones we love the most, either in a romantic getaway with our partner, in a plan with friends, with family or why not, a trip just to reconnect with ourselves. Valentine's Day, the day of love and friendship, presents us with multiple options to enjoy with our loved ones, in the way we prefer, in charming areas of the Iberian Peninsula.
Extremadura and Portugal have an infinite number of activities and areas to discover where you can enjoy uncrowded tourism and with the guarantee of being able to disconnect from the fast pace of life to which we are accustomed, thus being able to dedicate quality time to your loved ones. In these lands, you can find the perfect activities and scenery to escape for a few days.
We share with you some different ideas to enjoy them according to your preferences and with whom you share this beautiful day:
Plans to enjoy with the family
-Unwind in the natural surroundings of the Ambroz Valley, in the north of the province of Cáceres. Its natural pools are well known for enjoying the summer season, but what few people know is the number of activities you can do in winter. From visiting and strolling through one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in the country, to relaxing in one of the spas with their Roman thermal baths or even enjoying a day's skiing in the surrounding areas, the choice is yours!
Plans to enjoy as a couple

If wine is your thing, you can enjoy a visit to the vineyards and wineries of the Alentejo to learn about the production process of its up to eight designations of origin, such as Évora or Portalegre wine, and marvel at their flavours and sensations, pairing different Alentejo delicacies. In these areas you can enjoy a romantic picnic at sunset among the vineyards or prepare your own wine, putting yourself in the shoes of an oenologist, among many other options. An experience that will definitely not leave you indifferent.

For lovers of good food, we suggest you visit the southern area of Badajoz. Tierra de Barros, La Campiña Sur or Jerez de los Caballeros. This area has a wide range of gastronomic delights, where you can enjoy magnificent acorn-fed hams, which you cannot miss out on.
Enjoy its Iberian meats, cheeses and "arroz a lo cafre" (a typical dish from the Middle Ages made with game meat and mushrooms), among many other typical dishes of the area, and let yourself be captivated by some of the best gourmet restaurants in Extremadura. A different way of rediscovering the south of this region that will surprise you.
