Today is Sant Jordi day in Catalunya.
 |
| People and more people |
It's a big day here, similar to Catalunya valentine's day.
This day the girls get roses and the boys get books. (Life is fair hahaha)

The cathedral square filled with more people

There's a band with catalan dancing in the Sant Jaume square (but too crowded to see the dancers)

| Sant Jaume square (or Sant Jordi square) |
And Casa Batllo is decorated with roses. This is a Gaudi building which is supposed to represent a dragon. So to complete the legend, they decorate the house on Sant Jordi day

I found these wooden roses in Place Catalunya for a very reasonable price and they are so nice that i can't resist getting 3!

| Super nice wooden roses |

| on hindsight, the champagne colored ones are sooo lovely |
 |

One word for town: CROWDED!
And it's not just Place Catalunya. Passeig de Gracia and the street adjacent to it near my place is crazy crowded
