Today is the Festival of St. George - it is the equivalent to our Valentine's Day in America. Men give women roses and women give men a book. From the Girona Tourism website... There is documentary evidence of this tradition dating back to the 15th century, although at that time it was celebrated exclusively by the aristocracy. It has grown in popularity over the centuries to the point where today it can be stated that the diada is the real day of lovers in Catalonia. This tradition has been happily joined by the celebration of the Day of the Book, much more recent but also very firmly established in Catalonia. In this case, women traditionally give a book to their beloved. In 1995, this ritual was consolidated when UNESCO declared 23rd April to be "World Book and Copyright Day". #soblessed2travel #oneworldonelove #girona #stgeorgefestival Summer is almost here!!
