April twenty-third is a symbolic day in world literature. It is the International Day of the Book

This celebration came from a catalan tradition, The Festival of the Rose.

Legend says that Saint George, Patron Saint of Catalonia, killed a dragon about to devour a beautiful catalan princess

From the dragon's blood grew a rosebush

The hero plucked the prettiest rose for the princess

Since the Middle Ages the traditional Rose Festival is celebrated in Barcelona to honor love.

In 1923, this lover's fiesta became even more poetic to mark the nearly simultaneous deaths of Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare, the two giants of literary history, on April 23, 1616.

On this day streets are full of books.

Remember: The best vehicle to travel wherever you want is a book
