Love is in the air this spring in Barcelona with Dia De Sant Jordi coming up on April 23rd! The Dia de Sant Jordi, or Saint George, is a holiday of romance and a day to honor the patron saint of Cataluña. The ramblas is packed with vendors selling roses and books, the traditional gifts given to women and men respectively on the holiday. By the end of the week, over 4 million roses and 400,000 books are bought in Barcelona, over half the book sales for the entire year! It´s rare to walk the streets of the city and not see a man or woman without a rose or book in hand, but singles never fear, the Dia de Sant Jordi celebrates the love between friends as well. Watch the dancing of the Sardana, a traditional Catalonian dance performed throughout the day and even join if the mood strikes, or take a coffee break in one of the many cafes and enjoy a book reading! So gather some friends or your significant other, make a reservation at a great restaurant, and join in on the love and celebration in Barcelona.
