If there’s one thing Spain is quite famous for, it’s keeping the tradition of celebrating festivities. Some of these celebrations are very local, in one specific village, but quite a few are also regional, like today’s 23rd of April in Catalonia, which honors the legend of St. Jordi. This year we have had to cancel or postpone many of our Festivities, like for example Easter celebration or Feria de Abril in Andalucia, Las Fallas in Valencia and it’s already decided that the San Fermin in Pamplona, will not take place in July.
Today’s celebration of Sant Jordi is also postponed, as we would normally hit the streets to buy books and roses for our loved ones or take part in different school activities with our children. The only thing we can do for now is to #STAYATHOME and hope that things are soon back to normal. Because just as St. Jordi beat the evil dragon on a day like this, we hope to soon beat this evil virus, and once again take part in our beautiful, crowdy celebrations. So long, Sant Jordi!
