HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE VENETIAN MASKS⁉️

📜Venetian masks have a long history and rich traditions behind them. Made of paper mache, velvet, and lace, decorated with feathers, rhinestones, gold and silver leaf, they are veritable works of wearable art. With their whimsical designs and promise of mystery, Venetian masks appeal to your sense of drama and quickly seduce you.

⏳Journey through centuries of tradition, where masks, once a social equalizer, have evolved into coveted souvenirs. Originating in Venice's Carnival, these masks transcended the festivities, becoming a year-round symbol of anonymity and class mingling.

🎨The art of mask-making burgeoned in the 13th century, organized under the guild 'Arte dei Depentori.' From painters to gilders, artisans crafted masks, recognized officially in 1436. Wearing masks became a norm, even compulsory in certain social settings like theaters.

🚫As Venice faced decline in the 18th century, so did the number of mask-making workshops. By 1773, only 12 remained, employing 31 people. With the fall of the Republic in 1797, the Venetian Carnival was banned, and masks vanished from public life, plunging the craft into obscurity.

✨A renaissance occurred in 1979, led by enthusiasts dedicated to reviving the glory of the Venetian Carnival. Mask-making studios and shops emerged, delving into historical techniques and designs. Today, Venetian masks are not just accessories; they symbolize the resplendence and cultural richness of Venice. Explore the enchanting journey of Venetian masks, embracing tradition with a touch of modern allure.

Need help planning the most noteworthy destination proposal? Barcelona is one of Spain’s most romantic cities to visit with your loved ones. From streets that looks like a fairytale, intimate romantic corners, and magical rooftop views. You name it! Barcelona is the perfect destination for a special weekend getaway, honeymoon, or a spot to pop the question to your special someone.

Here are Bravo’s Top 5 destinations to propose in Barcelona:

Mount Tibidabo - is a hill overlooking Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Rising sharply to the north-west, it has views over the city and the surrounding coastline. You can propose on the Ferris wheel or just find a bench with a lovely view. We can already hear a “YES”!

The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc - is a fountain located at the head of Avinguda Maria Cristina in the Montjuïc neighborhood of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Truly it’s a magical sight, filled with light, colors, music, and of course, water. Have you ever imagined getting down on one knee to a romantic soundtrack with this dazzling display before you?

Park Güell – is a privatized park system composed of gardens and architectural elements located on Carmel Hill, in Barcelona. If views make it more romantic to both of you, climb up to the top and see the Three Crosses. The magnificent backdrop will complete the most romantic moment.

Parc del Laberint d'Horta – the park is a historical garden in the Horta-Guinardó district in Barcelona and is the oldest of its kind in the city. Go through the maze together and when you reach center, you will see the statue of Eros (the Greek god of love). Prepare your speech, let the cupid witness your love for each other.

Mirablau Restaurant – If you are both foodies, enjoy Catalan tapas & wine together on a terrace overlooking mountains. The place has stunning romantic views and delicious food. Head down to the bar and club downstairs if you feel like celebrating afterwards!

Whatever you fancy, make it a moment for a lifetime. We at Bravo can help you create the perfect destination proposal that you will remember for a lifetime.

One of the most spectacular spaces in Seville 🇪🇸

Fact: The overwhelming Plaza de España is the most famous square in Seville. Several buildings were designed for the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929 in and around the Maria-Luisa Park. Aníbal González designed this Spanish square, which is in Spanish Renaissance style with a diameter of 200 metres. Spain's goal with the exhibition was to make symbolic peace with its former American colonies.
