Today 23 of April is the "diada of Sant Jordi", only celebrate in Catalonia.
This day people who have libraries come out in the street and they put a table with books and "roses" for sell them.
Specially this day is for the people who are in love, because the boys give a "rosa" to his girlfriends, and the girls give a book to her boyfriends.
The legend in Catalonia about Sant Jordi tells that at Montblanc, in Conca de Barberà, there was a terrible dragon which viciously attacked men and beasts. To pacify it, lots were drown and a person was chosen to be given as a sacrifice to the monster. One day, the misfortune fell on the king's daughter, who would have died in the beast's claws if it had been for the arrival of a handsome knight who challenged the dragon and killed it.
This day means for Catalonia a day for represent the culture and the catalan lenguage.
