There are so many ways to celebrate Sant Jordi in Barcelona. Of course, you can’t miss a stroll among the rows and rows of book sellers and rose vendors that fill the streets of the literary superblock which stretches from Avinguda Diagonal to Gran Via and Balmes to Pau Claris as well as along La Rambla and Gran de Gràcia. There you can meet a number of Catalan and Spanish authors and even get your books signed.

When you’ve had your fill of books and roses you can catch a film at the BCN Film Fest, check out the Sant Jordi Musica at Antiga Fàbrica Damm, see the traditional sardana dance at Plaça Sant Jaume or enjoy free entry to a number of museums as well as historical buildings that are normally closed to the public. Below is a list of the participating institutions this year.
