sant jordi

Sant Jordi (saint jorge) is a tradition in Catalunya, Spain. It is celebrated every 23 of april, and it comes from a legend about a princess that has to be eaten by a dragon, but a prince kills the dragon to save the princess and from its blood a rose blooms. It is known by girls buying books for boys and boys buying roses to girls. I love going out on the streets this day to see all the book stalls and roses, and the ambient on my town.
