TIME TO ENJOY
A Weekend to Be Together Again
Maybe that’s why traveling with friends feels different now. It’s less about going far and more about simply getting to be together.
When you were younger, making plans was easy. All it took was a free afternoon, a phone call, and not much else. Then came work, impossible schedules, kids, moving to different cities, and that WhatsApp group where you’ve been trying for weeks to find a date that works for everyone.
Maybe that’s why traveling with friends feels different now. It’s less about going far and more about simply getting to be together. Without checking the time. Without that “we really need to do this more often” that somehow always comes right before saying goodbye.
A Girls’ Getaway to Seville
Fall helps. And so does Seville.
It’s the kind of city that lends itself perfectly to a trip without too many obligations. It’s easy to explore on foot, invites you to sit outside, take a detour, and step into whatever catches your eye. You can rent bikes, see an exhibition, wander without a destination, let lunch stretch well into the afternoon, or discover a bar you’ll inevitably want to return to the next day.
Although maybe the real luxury is not having too many plans at all.
Sleeping in. Having breakfast without rushing and without anyone calling for you from another room. Ordering one more coffee. Going back upstairs. Lying down for a while. Starting with one conversation and, an hour later, realizing you’re talking about something completely different.
“you’ll inevitably want to return to the next day.”
Plácido y Grata: A Hotel for Slowing Down
Plácido y Grata was created with exactly that idea in mind: a place where time could matter a little less.
Then there are those small rituals that somehow take on a different meaning with friends. A long shower, music while you get ready, borrowing each other’s skincare, finishing a conversation in front of the mirror. In the rooms, you’ll find a selection of ROWSE products to turn that moment into a small shared self-care ritual.
After that, you can head back out. Take a walk, return by bike, or have a cocktail on the hotel terrace as the afternoon begins to fade.
And keep talking.
Let’s be honest: a getaway with friends doesn’t need much more than this — an easygoing city and enough time to be together again.
