Spanish love songs for Valentine's Day

In Mexico and much of Latin America, February 14 is the "Día del Amor y la Amistad", the day of love and friendship, so friends exchange songs as much as couples do. For a partner, "Bésame Mucho", "Contigo Aprendí" and "Me Enamora" are classic picks; for a friend, a cheerful song like "La Bicicleta" fits the friendship side of the day. More ideas in our list of Valentine's Day songs.

How to do a serenade in Spanish

A serenata is one of the most romantic traditions in Latin culture: arrive at night with a mariachi or a trio, stand under the window and play three or four songs. "Si Nos Dejan", "Hermoso Cariño", "Sabor a Mí" and "Cielito Lindo" are the classics, and a trio with guitars is perfect for boleros. Tell the family in advance, and plan the last song as an invitation to come down to the door.

Boleros for an anniversary

For an anniversary dinner, boleros set the mood: "Sabor a Mí", "Somos Novios", "Inolvidable" and "Solamente Una Vez". For a 25th or 50th, add the song from the couple's wedding day and watch them dance.

Spanish love songs to dance to

For a party, bachata and salsa get couples dancing close: "Propuesta Indecente", "Darte un Beso", "Burbujas de Amor" and "La Bicicleta". End the night with a slow bolero like "Bésame Mucho" for the older couples on the floor.

Old Spanish love songs

For a 50th anniversary or a grandparents' party, the songs of their youth are the biggest hit: Pedro Infante, Javier Solís, Trío Los Panchos, Agustín Lara and Armando Manzanero. A playlist of boleros from the year they married will have them dancing and telling stories all night.
