Sant Jordi 2011 - flowers and books for all

2011 is a year unlike others in recent memory for those who are in the Barcelona area. Semana Santa coincides with the other major holiday of the city, Sant Jordi. On April 23rd the streets of the Catalan capital will fill up with book stands (complete with authors signing books) and roses. The celebration flows into the markets, where the sellers will be giving out roses to their female clients. It's a wonderful event that takes place thoruhgout Catalonia, and the perfect time to see and take part in local culture, and this year it has the triple benefit of being on a Saturday as well as during Semana Santa.
