Saint George's Day (23 April) — Catalonia's patron saint. The tradition involves exchanging roses and books. Rome's streets fill with stalls, and it's one of the year's most festive days. Think Valentine's Day meets World Book Day with a dragon legend.

Is it suitable for corporate events?

Absolutely. The creative, cultural theme suits team workshops (book binding, rose arranging, storytelling), guided walks, and Catalan dining experiences. It's a rare opportunity for authentic cultural team bonding.

Does Sant Jordi disrupt normal events?

No. The festival adds atmosphere rather than disruption. Main streets (Rambla, Passeig de Gracia) have stalls but remain walkable. Restaurants operate normally — book ahead as they fill with celebratory lunches.
