You often wonder what the ideal second date should be. Should you take her flowers? Should you ask her to meet you at the restaurant so that she does not have to rely on you for a lift? There are so many dos and don'ts of second dates that you are often left really confused.

There is however one complete must and that is taking someone to Valencia for a second date. Sure, it is more expensive than the conventional date, but if you find a special woman that you think would be worth the expense, then it is something to consider.

If you look at it this way, going to Valencia is exactly the same as going on holiday. The costs are the same and you would be going with someone really special. The pressure of the first date is over and if you are considering a second date, then obviously things have gone well up to this point. So why not take her to Valencia?

Valencia has everything you need in terms of romance. Like every Spanish city there is a perfect balance between old and new. Even when it comes to finding the right accommodation, you will find that there is everything you need. You can choose between romantic villas, quaint B&Bs or self-catering holiday apartments.

The most romantic place in Valencia is without doubt the beach area at sunset. Here you will be able to take your date along the shores and see the sun set over the Mediterranean, which is possibly one of the most beautiful sights to behold.

After sunset, you can take her for tapas at one of the restaurants in the old part of the city. You can talk about your day over a good bottle of Spanish wine and snack on the delicious dishes provided by the restaurants.

After dinner, you can walk arm in arm to a late night club or bar for a nightcap. Here you will see the real Valencia nightlife, teeming with other couples in love. After a drink or two, and maybe a dance, you can make your way back to your hotel or holiday apartment it all depends on what you prefer and get a good night's sleep. If you get up early enough, you could catch an early breakfast on the beachfront and watch the sunrise. If you are able to find anything more romantic in your entire lifetime, then you are extremely fortunate. Spanish sunrises over the Mediterranean are what all poets should have in mind when writing about love and romance.
