About the event
In Andorra, Sant Jordi (Saint George’s Day) is celebrated every April 23rd. Much like in neighbouring Catalonia, it is one of the most cherished days of the year, blending romantic tradition with a massive celebration of literature.
The Legend
The celebration is rooted in the legend of Saint George, the knight who rescued a princess by slaying a dragon. According to the tale, a beautiful red rosebush sprouted from the spot where the dragon's blood hit the ground. Sant Jordi plucked the most beautiful rose and gave it to the princess, a gesture that remains at the heart of the holiday today.
It is often described as the "Andorran Valentine’s Day," though it feels much more like a collective outdoor party for the entire community.
