Sant Jordi Rose, A Catalan Tradition

Yesterday like every April 23rd La Diada de Sant Jordi (St. George) celebrations took place in Barcelona. On a day like this, women are given a flower, a red rose while men are supposed to receive books. In the end everybody ends up buying books as this happened to be the Day of the Book as well.

For local travel in Barcelona I recommend TMB information (Barcelona bus and metro) Mobile App. Barcelona (link to mobile app) is not a town you want to leave. From the capital of Catalonia you can make a number of one day trips for example to Costa Brava or you can climb the Muntanya de Montserrat.

If you're looking for some entertainment, you can either go to the Salou amusement park, 100 kilometres away from Barcelona or to the town of Sitges, only 40 kilometres away and famous for its film festival and the carnival.
