"St. George and the Dragon" is a tale that fascinated many children. The legend says that he killed a dragon and saved a beautiful maiden who was about to become lunch for the beast. From the blood of the dragon sprouted a rose bush. Our hero plucked the prettiest rose and presented it to the maid. Hence, on April 23rd in Catalonia, where Jordi is the saint patron and chivalry lives, the day is celebrated in a wonderful way.
Since 1923, this lovely celebration has merged with International Book Day to mark the anniversary of the April 23rd, 1616 deaths of Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.
