Saint George
April 23 is a symbolic day in world literature. Declared as International Day of the Book by UNESCO in 1995, this celebration of books and literature draws its inspiration from a Catalan tradition, the Festival of the Rose.
Legend says that Saint George, Patron Saint of Catalonia and international knight-errant, slew a dragon who was about to devour a beautiful Catalan princess. From the dragon's blood sprouted a rosebush, from which teh hero plucked the prettiest rose for the princess. Hence the traditional Rose Festival celebrated in Barcelona to honor chivalry and love.
This celebration became more poetic when in 1923 when it was decided to celebrate the simulatenous death of two literary giants such as Cervantes and William Shakespeare in 1616. On this day Barcelona, bookstalls and street festivities run in la Rambla, the old city's main avenue.
What will you give as a present? What book do you recommend us?

What animal is it?
It is one of the largest land carnivores in the world: they eat meat, usually seals. It weighs between 350 and 650 kilos although females are 25% smaller. They have 42 teeth. They have small ears and short claws. They have a tiny tail.
They are furry. They have a thick winter coat because they have a layer of fat that protects it against cold air and water. Their white fur turns yellow when they get old. They have long feet to walk on ice or snow. They have a strong sense of smell. They are excellent swimmers.
They live in very cold places, generally the sea ice and waters, islands and coasts of the Arctic.

What band is it?
This is one of my favourite bands. They are an English band that mixes trip hop, rock, R'n'B and pop. Their success came with the single Rome Wasn't Built in a Day in 2000. They released their sixth studio album called Deep in February 2008.
I hope I can see them in concert live next 23rd May in Barcelona!!! Don't you know them?
Listen to this song and it may ring you a bell. Do you like it?
