Sant Jordi

One of my favourite dates of the year is the 23rd of April, when Sant Jordi is celebrated, as well as the Book Day. The tradition is to gift books and flowers to your relatives, friends and the persons you love. The Sant Jordi legend is one of my favs, where it basically explains the story of a town where a dragon was eating people; one day it almost ate the princess, and a knight appeared, killed the dragon, and from its blood appeared a rose.
