The Legend of Sant Jordi

April 23rd

Not only World Book Day

April 23rd is World Book Day, but in Barcelona —the home of Balvi design— we celebrate something even more magical: Sant Jordi, our favorite local tradition.

Legend has it that a knight saved a princess from a dragon, and from the dragon's blood, a rose bush blossomed. That’s why we exchange books and roses on this day. We love this story so much that we want you to be part of it too!
