Live Book and Rose Day from our hotel in Poblenou Barcelona
April 20 2021
Equivalent to Catalan Valentine's Day, one of the most characteristic festivities of Barcelona is celebrated on April 23. This date welcomes many pedestrians every year who walk with books under their arms and roses wrapped in ribbons in the colors of La Senyera, the flag of Catalonia.
And it is that the day of Sant Jordi or San Jorge, also known as the Day of the Rose, magically coincides with the Day of the Book, an ideal combination to enjoy a quick and be/autiful getaway to Barcelona, don't you think?
What is Sant Jordi's Day?
Sant Jordi's Day is the festivity that commemorates the death of the patron saint of Catalonia, the martyr soldier Jorge. During this day, April 23, it is common to exchange flowers and books between lovers and loved ones as an ancient tradition belonging to the 15th century.
Likewise, UNESCO accepted April 23 as an international commemoration of the book in 1995, with the aim of promoting reading and defending copyright.
