Hvert år den 23. april forvandles Catalonien til en levende hyldest til kultur, litteratur og kærlighed under fejringen af Sant Jordi (Sankt Georg). Dagen, som ofte sammenlignes med en kombination af valentinsdag og Verdens Bogdag, fylder gader og pladser med bogboder og roser.
April 23rd, the day when love and literature are celebrated massively throughout Catalonia
April 23rd was declared by Unesco in 1995 as the World Book Day and in Catalonia, in addition to exchanging roses, giving away books is the way to commemorate one of the traditions that is most rooted in the Catalan culture.
We want to keep the spirit of April 23 alive by filling the balconies with roses and donating books to those who need them most.
On April 23, Barcelona’s streets fill with the scent of roses and freshly printed books to celebrate St George
