I like this holiday
SPAIN: BOOK AND LOVERS' DAY
This celebration in Barcelona is Spain's version of Valentine's Day. It celebrates St. George's Day and the anniversary of the death of Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. Bookstands are set up in plazas and on street corners. Women give books to their lovers while men give roses to the women.
More about Miguel de Cervantes and more about his works & life.
