The festival of Sant Jordi, celebrated every April 23rd in Catalonia, is one of the most emblematic traditions of the region. On this day, the streets are filled with roses and books, in honor of the patron saint of Catalonia and in commemoration of the death of two of the most important writers of world literature: Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare.
According to legend, Sant Jordi fought a dragon to save a princess who was under attack. When he plunged his sword into the monster's heart, a rose sprang forth and he gave it to the princess. Since then, the tradition of giving roses has been maintained as a token of love and respect for women, while the gift of books has become a way to promote culture and knowledge.
Nowadays, Sant Jordi's Day is a very special occasion in which sending flowers to Barcelona has become a deeply rooted tradition. The streets are filled with flower stalls, especially roses, so that anyone who wants to can show their affection to their partner, friends or loved ones.
