Hvert år den 23. april forvandles Catalonia til en levende hyllest til kultur, litteratur og kjærlighet under feiringen av Sant Jordi (Sankt Georg). Dagen, som ofte sammenlignes med en kombinasjon av valentinsdagen og Verdens bokdag, fyller gater og torg med bokboder og roser.
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
