For my this legend is so much more than a legend, Today Barcelona and all the Catalan streets around small and big towns will be full of books and roses, full of lovers, passion but mostly a happy sensation, that have inspired a lot of artist like Gaudi.
Even if your aren't Catalan, maybe today could be a good day to know more about this beautiful Culture and you can go on and Buy a book or a Rose for someone you love.
Happy Sant Jordi Day everyone!
