Date Ideas: Fall in Love with the City… Literally
For his dates in Madrid, Grant wanted to take in all that the city has to offer. For his first one-on-one date of the week, he invited Dina to explore the city with him. The two walked through the historic streets and even got to dance with locals. For his group date in Madrid, Grant took eight of the women to Chinchón, where they took in the city on the best ride in town — on donkeys! After riding donkeys, they trained to become matadoras with the city’s finest. Talk about getting the full Spanish experience! For his last date of the week, Grant took Sarafiena to the Buitrago bridge where they leaped head-first into love. The two bungee jumped around 100 feet off the bridge overlooking the lush green hills. If these thrilling and romantic date ideas don’t have you booking your flights to Madrid for your next vacation, well, we can’t relate! Visit Madrid and experience the beautiful city like Grant and his ladies did on “The Bachelor” and you’re sure to be swept off your feet.
