Change of date for the Catalan Book Week to coincide with the Diada (read article in Castilian here, El Pais). This year will be the 28th year for the book festival but it will be the first time in a new venue and, according to the organisers will have a totally new spirit. After years at Plaça de Catalunya, Avenida de la Catadral and Sant Cugat del Vallès, this month the festival will now take place in the Parc de la Ciutadella, from September 10th to 19th, with more than 30,000 books for sale and over 200 acts are timetabled. The date change is due to the organiser's desire to link it to the Diada. President of the week, Pelach Albert, explained yesterday, "September 11th is indicative but increasingly cultural. We want to become a new Sant Jordi."
