St George's Day in Lloret

What a colourful day it was in Loret de Mar yesterday!

From the front of the Town  Hall to the end of the promenade there were stalls selling books and flower displays of every shape and form!

The weather was glorious, so that brought everyone out for this very important Catalan Saints Day.

HELP!

St George's Day in LLoret

 This Saturday 23rd April is the day of St George, when on the promenade in front of the town hall a book and florists fair will be held. There are said to be 65 stalls taking part selling books of a wide variety of topics along with flower stalls. Its a custom that on this day men should buy their wives or lady friends a rose (or of course a very large bouquet would be acceptable!) and in return the women should give a book. I should think the wives will be buying DIY books for their husbands!
The book and flower fair will begin at 10am, and its hoped that this good weather we are having just now will hold out .... but rain is forecast for this weekend.
