In Saint George’s day I went to Barcelona. In the morning I went to buy a book in a book shop next to my house, but I saw many interesting books and I bought three books. I worked all afternoon until nine o’clock in the evening, and after I went to Barcelona to have dinner with my husband, there were many people very happy everywhere in Barcelona.

That day I went to village centre for a walk . In the street I found the bookshop’s stands where in that day you can find especial prices a 10% reduction (books have always a fix price). The tradition is very chauvinist: a book for men a rose for women. I had to buy a book to my husband but he doesn’t like reading. I bought a book for me like a present for him. My daughter enjoyed this day in the school with special activities like going out and a literature contest or workshops.

On April 23rd in Catalonia St. Jordi’s day is celebrated.
It is a typical day .It is a day for roses and books.
In the street there are many shops to sale books and roses.
Men buy a rose to women and the women buy a book to men.
It is a day when in Catalonia there are sold more books
