 April 23 is El Dia de Sant Jordi in Barcelona and Catalunia, as it is in England. It is also called El Dia del Libro, the day of the Book as it commemorates the deaths, both on this day in 1616, of Miquel de Cervantes, creator of 'Don Quixote de La Mancha' and of William Shakespeare. On this Day it is traditional to give books as presents and to give all the ladies a red rose. All the streets of Catalunia are lined with book and flower stalls, the shops sell sweets and candies in the shape of roses and street parades commemorate the legend of St George.
And so, on this, the Day of Books and Roses' we commemorate all these things, in celebration of the life of a brave knight, the love of a beautiful maiden, the magic of literature and the gallantry of chivalry ~ wherever it may be found in the world. Learn more about our shared traditions. Learn Spanish. Join the Club. Happy St George's day.
