Happy Saint George's day to everyone!
Saint George (Sant Jordi) is the Patron Saint of Catalonia so not only is this special day celebrated in England but also here in every Catalan town and village. The tradition here is that gifts of books and roses are exchanged by couples, partners, family members, and friends so out on the streets and town squares the shops and specially erected stalls are selling books of just about every topic under the sun and gifts of single stems or small arrangements of roses.
These photos show the colourful stalls in Lloret de Mar today.
