April 23: Sant Jordi Day

April 20th, 2009

Sant Jordi (St. George) is the National Heroe of Catalonia. The legend explains he fighted against the dragon and rescued the beautiful princess.
This date is very popular in Catalonia - and all the Catalans we are very proud of it- because represents the esence and rooths of the Catalan nation and its culture. In the past decades, the marketing has amplified the international impact of this special tradition: men give a rose as a present to women and women give a book, as well as a present, to men. An special reccommendation if you are in Barcelona this date: go for a walk to the Ramblas street in the evening and enjoy with the flowers and books shops in the middle of the street. For sure you will be impressed and even you will feel as a local!
