Where to actually take her in Spain

Spain has the best hotels in Europe for the price and a night-time culture that starts at the hour other countries close. That works in your favour: dining at ten and having a drink at midnight is normal here, not an excuse. Pick a hotel with its own bar in a city you can cross on foot and the logistics of the night disappear.

Hotels that do not make it awkward

The single most common way an evening goes wrong in Spain is the front desk. Some houses charge a visitor fee, some ask for her passport, some simply do not allow a second person in the room after midnight. The houses below are the ones worth booking in this city - and because policies change with the season and the manager, the one question worth asking at reservation is whether a registered guest may come up to the room.

• Only YOU Boutique Hotel Madridhotel bar - she can arrive without crossing a lobby · walkable to everything · discreet entrance, front desk asks nothing
• Hotel Casa Fuster Barcelonaproper suites, not a box with a bed · quiet enough to talk · hotel bar - she can arrive without crossing a lobby
• Puente Romano Marbellaproper suites, not a box with a bed · quiet enough to talk · discreet entrance, front desk asks nothing

Bars for the first drink

Forty minutes in a bar before anything else is not a formality - it is how two adults find out whether the evening is worth having. Pick somewhere you can hear each other.

The areas, honestly

Every city has a district everyone names and a district where things actually happen. In Spain they are not always the same place.

• Barrio de Salamanca Madridresidential, private, nobody looks twice · quiet enough to talk
• El Raval Barcelonastreet scene, not a venue · busy and loud after midnight · the nightlife spine of the city
• Puerto Banús Marbelladress properly or you will feel it · tourist-priced, watch the bill · the nightlife spine of the city
• La Jonquera Gironastreet scene, not a venue · busy and loud after midnight

Three things that cost nothing

• Be where you said you would be, at the time you said it. Punctuality reads as respect, and it is the cheapest respect there is.
• Settle the practical part at the start, once, and never bring it up again.
• Book the room in your own name and go up first. Never ask her to check in for you.
