Coworkers, Sant Jordi is approaching and you can feel it in the air! Because on this special day of the year, we all start to organize the preparations that star this great Catalan holiday: books and roses. Sant Jordi is, for Catalonia, rose and book day. On this day, the April 23rdall Catalans are encouraged to take to the streets of their cities to celebrate love, reading, details, friendship, happiness... so many things! And, as a token of our gratitude, we do it giving a book as a gift (usually boys) and a rose (to the girls). Although, of course, everyone gives what they want to whom they want :). The legend goes back centuries. It is said that a dragon terrorized an entire village, inhabitants of which gave the monster one person a day so that he would not go hungry. The day came when the princess had to be taken to the dragon, with the good fortune that a knight prevented this disaster. He stabbed the dragon with his sword in the center of the heart and, with the blood spilling, a beautiful rose bush sprouted. The knight gave the most beautiful rose to the princess. And so the tradition has continued until today. In Barcelona it is very important to celebrate the day of Sant Jordi and that is why we encourage you to do it this year. Las Ramblas and Paseo de Gracia are filled with people buying books and roses to give as gifts, but if you want to get a head start, we recommend 6 bookstores near Aticco to fall in love with them and fall in love with books.
