This Anglo-Saxon custom did not set foot on Spanish soil until 1948, when Jos\u00e9 “Pep\u00edn” Fern\u00e1ndez, founder of the Preciados Galleries, introduced the exchange of flowers, chocolates or gifts between lovers. Galer\u00edas Preciados is a well-known department store of Spanish origin; the company was founded in 1943 and its first center was opened in Madrid in the busy street of Callao.<\/span> During the 1960s the company was expanding throughout the country, with a total of thirty-nine establishments. Its success lasted until the end of the decade when El Corte Ingl\u00e9s, another department store chain presided over by his cousin, took over.<\/span><\/p>\n Until that time, this saint of Italian origin had no presence in Spain. Since then, gift shops in all Spanish cities are colored red and give off a fresh rose aroma.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span> Now, do you know how we address our partner, wife, husband, boyfriend or loved ones in Spanish? The most commonly used words are the following: darling, sweetie, my love, my soul, heaven, my king\/queen… and… what expressions do we use in Spanish to express our feelings? Here are a few examples of how we express our love in Spanish: I like you; I like you a lot, I love you and I am in love with you.<\/span><\/p>\n We encourage you to write a few words in Spanish to the person you love so much on this special day.
