Diada de Sant Jordi

On a cultural note, on April 23, Catalunya celebrates the
Diada de Sant Jordi (Feast Day of Saint George, patron of Catalunya) and
El Dia del Llibre
(The Day of the Book) with many regional customs: Book and
flower stalls are set up along the streets of Barcelona. People will go
looking for a gift for their their family, friends, and partners. You
will be able to find the latest publications, see well-known artists
signing copies of their books, and of course, smell the scent of the
roses. Traditionally, boys will give girls a flower, and girls give boys
a book.
The image on the right was taken today by a friend (@roser_n) and shared. It shows Gaudí's
Casa Batlló, Barcelona, decorated with lots of roses. The facade of the building is said to resemble a
drac (Dragon), and according to legend,
Sant Jordi is said to have slain a dragon in his efforts to help the inhabitants of a city.
