Catalunya's Valentine's Day
Spain: Interplant's Explorer at Sant Jordi Festival in Barcelona 2016
The story of Sant Jordi is the same as the one that is known worldwide. Saint George was a hero - he saved a beautiful Princess who was about to come to a sticky end at the hands of a dragon who had been terrorising a village. There are various versions of the story but these facts always remain the same. Sant Jordi is the Patron Saint of Catalunya and his tale is well-known throughout the city.
The basic idea for Sant Jordi is that men give women roses and women give men books. And it can be anybody, not necessarily your partner or somebody who you have taken a liking to. For this feast, boys buy roses for their mums; girls buy books for their friends.
The streets and squares of Barcelona are filled with stalls selling books and roses, and also Interplant Roses. Superstar Hybrid-Tea Rose Explorer®, the most suited rose for loving occasions, was present as well.
