Best Places to Propose in Spain: Surprise Proposal at Marimurtra Garden near Barcelona

Are you planning a surprise proposal in Barcelona or somewhere beautiful in Spain? Let me share the story of a magical engagement that took place at one of the most stunning locations near Barcelona — the Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Costa Brava.

Located just about one hour’s drive from Barcelona, Marimurtra Garden offers breathtaking sea views over the cliffs of the Costa Brava and a lush variety of Mediterranean and tropical plants. It’s truly one of the most romantic spots in Spain to propose!

For this surprise proposal, we arranged to meet directly in the garden. I arrived early to ensure everything was in place and to stay discreet until the right moment. When the couple arrived, I was already in position, ready to capture the unforgettable moment. She had no idea - until after the proposal, when I introduced myself and we started the engagement session!

Capturing such a meaningful and emotional moment is always an honor. The excitement, the joy, and the love are all so genuine, especially in the first photos right after the “yes”!
