I’m a sucker for eye candy. That said, I like to think that my standards for eye candy are pretty high. So when I find a place makes me think, “Oh wow, this is nice!” I figure it must be worth writing about.
When you land on La Romantica you find yourself inside a stone building high in the hills. Through the doorway you can glimpse the pine trees. There’s a real sense of place here. You can almost imagine the cold, thin mountain air.
Walk down the steps to the dirt path and you find yourself in a deep forest. Even in full daylight it is moody, quiet, and just a little bit mysterious. Make your way to the shore and you find some docks, a small village, and a pirate bar.
Okay, the pirate bar kind of threw me, but it’s well done, especially the glow of yell0w-green light from inside. Alas, I encountered no pirates.
As you walk around the edge of the island the path becomes more tropical. There are lovely places to sit on poseballs and watch the Windlight sunset.
As you walk around the island you’ll find some spots with restricted access. Make it a point to make your way to the top of the second mountain, though. There you’ll find a fire and dancing area, all set for whatever rituals you care to perform.
It’s the variety of La Romantica that makes it unique. There are plenty of other tropical islands and romantic forests, but when you walk through them everything is the same. A walk through La Romantica takes you and the one you love seamlessly through a number of environments, making a romantic walk that much more fun.
