Known as "The Day of Lovers," La Diada de Sant Jordi is often compared to Valentine's Day, but with some uniquely Latin twists. The main event is the exchange of gifts between couples -- men give their girlfriends roses, and women give their boyfriends a book to celebrate the occasion. It is also a way to commemorate the nearly simultaneous deaths of two fundamental authors on April 23 1616: Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare
Roses have always been associated with this day since medieval times. However, giving books as gifts has become a more recent tradition.
In Las Ramblas, Barcelona's principal street, there are some stands where you can buy roses and there are also bookstalls set up for the occasion. By the end of the day, it is in fact difficult to see a woman without a rose in her hand, or a man walking by without a book.
