Today is Saint George's Day (Diada de Sant Jordi) , in Catalonia is an important day. Today people go to streets of his cities to get roses and books to give them to his friends, parents and most important to his girlfriends or boyfriends.

For me its one of the most beautifull day in Barcelona, thats why I want to share this with orbinauts :) , in the street you can see a lot of catalan flags and people with roses and books and a lot of stores selling them. In some areas the ambient is full of flower smell and the center is full of people that want to buy books and see some autors. The event is even transmited via TV.

Interestingly, it is also the World Book and Copyright Day today because of Saint Georges day.
 
It will be nice to see what orbinauts do in his cities in this day :)

Business as usual. :lol: Well, not today, we have our chancellor and the Chinese prime minister roaming free here.
 
Patron Saint of England, so naturally its ignored here; you might see some flags on town-halls.
Also. Shakespears Birthday, and he wrote more than Saint George...
