Roses and Books: Celebrating Sant Jordi Day in the Heart of Catalonia

Sant Jordi Day (Saint George's Day) is a special event that is celebrated annually on April 23rd in Catalonia, Spain. This day is an important part of the region's cultural heritage, when streets and squares fill with a festive atmosphere. Sant Jordi is not only the patron saint of Catalonia but also a day traditionally marked as a book holiday.

According to tradition, on this day men give women red roses, and women in return give men books. This exchange symbolizes the endless combination of culture and romance that is characteristic of Catalan culture. As a result, Saint George's Day is also known as the Day of Books and Roses.

The celebration begins in the morning when people gather on the central streets to participate in various cultural events. Everywhere you can see book and flower fairs, where writers meet with their readers, and flower vendors decorate their stalls with magnificent bouquets of roses.

Historically, the festival is linked to the legend of Saint George, who, according to tradition, saved a princess by defeating a dragon. The dragon's blood turned into a rose, which the hero presented to the princess. This romantic legend lives in the hearts of Catalans and symbolizes the triumph of love and bravery.

Saint George's Day is also a time for literary awards and presentations of new books. Bookstores and publishers use this day to promote reading and literary culture, offering special discounts and conducting autograph sessions.

Overall, Sant Jordi Day is a day when love for books and admiration for the beauty of roses come together, creating a unique and unforgettable event that reflects the rich cultural tradition of Catalonia.

Spain invests 467 million euros in the construction of desalination plants in Catalonia to combat drought

Spain will invest 467 million euros in the construction of two desalination plants on the Catalan coast as the northeastern region suffers from a three-year drought. The plants will be built to the north and south of Barcelona, Spain's second largest city, and will have an annual processing capacity of 80 million cubic meters (21 billion gallons), as announced by the Ministry of the Environment.

The plants will start operating in 2028 and 2029, the statement said.

"The government's commitment is to do everything possible to assist wherever needed to ensure the availability of drinking water," Environment Minister Teresa Ribera said at a press conference in Barcelona. Catalonia's reservoirs are currently at only 16% of their capacity at a time of the year when rains would normally refill them. Local authorities have set limits on water usage by residents to mitigate the effects of the drought.

Ribera reported that the government and local water utilities will transport up to 40,000 cubic meters of desalinated water per day by sea from a plant located in Sagunto, in the Valencia region.

Procession of The Holy Burial in Girona, 2024

On March 29, 2024, the Procession of The Holy Burial in Girona will encapsulate a unique blend of spirituality and cultural heritage that characterizes the Spanish Semana Santa. This event will become a crucial part of the celebrations, bringing communities together to participate in processions that reflect deep religious faith and social traditions.

Brotherhoods, or "cofradías," play a central role in organizing these events, serving not only as participants in rituals but also as guardians of local traditions and social well-being. They vary in structure and can range from a few dozen to thousands of members, each contributing to the common cause.

Semana Santa traditions vary across Spain. For instance, in Andalusia, processions are adorned with thousands of torches, creating a magnificent nighttime atmosphere, whereas in Castile and Leon, the focus is on national costumes. This time is also used for family and friends' gatherings, with many taking the opportunity to travel across Spain, enjoying its culture and nature.

Semana Santa symbolizes not only spiritual rebirth but also revives cultural and social practices that live in the hearts of the Spanish people. It's a time when history and modernity intertwine, creating a unique atmosphere of deep faith and communal unity.

The dates for Semana Santa change annually, usually falling between March 22 and April 25, depending on the lunar calendar. These days revitalize Spain, filling it with preparations and festive processions. These processions are not only expressions of deep faith but also opportunities to experience strong emotional and spiritual moments.

The celebration of Good Friday in Girona will be the highlight of Semana Santa, offering a unique experience where spirituality, culture, and art merge, allowing a fresh perspective on Spain's rich heritage and its ability to preserve traditions.

Torrijas - a typical dish during Easter in Spain

Torrijas is a traditional Easter dish in Spain, made from slices of bread (usually a few days old), which are soaked in milk or syrup or wine and fried in a pan with oil. They are sweetened with honey, molasses, or sugar and flavored with cinnamon.

In Spain, the term "torrija" or "torreja" has been documented as early as the 15th century. Juan del Encina mentions "torreja" in a Christmas carol from his "Cancionero" (1496), mentioning "honey and many eggs for making torrejas."

Lope de Vega also references torrijas in his works, particularly in his trilogy dedicated to the patron saint of Madrid, San Isidro Labrador. Sweet toasts were very popular in Madrid's taverns in the early 20th century and were served with glasses of wine.

Their association with Lent might be linked to the need to use leftover bread, which was consumed less at a time when meat could not be eaten, although families made the same amount of bread.

Since 2013, the Leonese Gastronomy Academy has held the National Torrijas Competition for professional chefs in the Spanish city of Leon. There are four categories set for this competition: traditional, innovative, savory, and stevia.
Here is a brief outline of one of the torrijas recipes:

👉 Slice the bread into pieces about 2 centimeters thick.
👉 Heat milk with lemon zest, a cinnamon stick, and a tablespoon of honey. Let the milk cool down a bit.
👉 Heat a pan with sunflower oil. Dip the bread slices first in milk and then in egg and fry.
👉 In a plate, mix sugar (you can add vanilla sugar, if desired) with cinnamon. Roll the bread slices in the sugar-cinnamon mix.

Serve with tea, coffee, cocoa, other drinks, or as a standalone dish.

New DGT Requirements for Riding a Motorcycle 🛵🏍 with a Car License

Drivers holding a Category B, car license, will no longer find it as easy to ride a motorcycle as before, once the Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) approves the new measures announced by the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska. This year, the DGT will introduce an additional requirement for drivers with more than three years of experience with a Category B license to operate motorcycles up to 125 cubic centimeters, aiming to reduce the accident rate of motorcyclists on the roads.

Last year, 299 motorcyclists died on Spanish roads, a 19% increase from the previous year, which for Grande-Marlaska is "a real mess." For this reason, the Minister of the Interior announced a new set of measures that will affect motorcyclists when the regulatory change becomes a reality.

🔸 Can I drive a motorcycle with a car license?

Yes, Article 5.7 of the General Drivers' Regulations stipulates that persons holding a valid Category B license with more than three years of experience can operate Class A1 motorcycles. That is, the maximum displacement that car drivers can operate is 125 cc. Regarding power, the maximum allowed is 11 kW, equivalent to 14.96 HP.

🔸 What types of motorcycles can I drive with a Category B license?

Scooters and tricycles of 125 cc, which are light and easy to drive vehicles as they do not have gears, as well as 125 cc motorcycles where there is a broader choice. Among the latter, there are various types: naked, custom, sports, trail, etc., all with gears. Finally, you can also legally operate approved tricycles over 125 cc and approved quadricycles over 125 cc.

"Driving a 125 cc motorcycle is nothing like driving a four-wheeled vehicle," states the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska.

🔸 What is the new requirement that the DGT will introduce for driving a motorcycle with a Category B license?

When the DGT approves the new regulations, it will require drivers with a Category B license and three years of experience, who wish to operate motorcycles up to 125 cc, to complete a mandatory improvement course (initially without an exam). This measure is already implemented in other countries, such as France and Germany. According to Grande-Marlaska, "to operate a 125 cc motorcycle, one must have prior knowledge and experience in operating a vehicle that is nothing like a four-wheeled one."

🔸 Will individuals currently riding a motorcycle with a car license be required to take the course?

No, the measure will not affect drivers who already enjoy this right, only those who obtain their driving license after the new regulations come into force. DGT will require motorcyclists to wear a specific type of helmet and gloves on the road.

🔸 When will the regulation come into effect?

The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, announced that the regulation will be implemented during 2024, but did not specify the date. Before these measures come into effect, it is necessary to first amend the General Traffic Regulation and the General Drivers' Regulation.

🔸 What other measures will the DGT adopt regarding the training of motorcyclists?

The DGT wants to enhance the training of those who travel to their workplace by motorcycle. These workers will have to complete a specific course every five years.

🔸 What other obligations will affect motorcyclists in 2024?

The DGT will require motorcyclists to use a full-face or modular helmet and approved gloves when riding on the road. In fact, cranial injuries are the leading cause of death among motorcyclists: 8 out of 10 fatalities on motorcycles are due to head impacts. Gloves are another important protective element for motorcyclists, as they protect the hands from injuries in case of an accident.

Pessebre Vivent: A Living Embodiment of the Christmas Story in Catalonia

Pessebre vivent or "Living Nativity Scene" is a unique tradition that originated in Catalonia, Spain, bringing the story of the birth of Jesus Christ to life. This tradition transforms the Christmas scene from simple figurines into a full-scale dramatic performance with live actors and realistic decorations.

Historical Roots

It is believed that the first Living Nativity Scene (Pessebre vivent) was created in 1223 by Saint Francis of Assisi (Sant Francesc d'Assís) in Rieti, Italy (Rieti, Itàlia). In Catalonia, the documented history of Living Nativity Scenes (Pessebre vivent) begins in the 14th century. However, a real interest in them emerged only in the mid-20th century when the idea of using live actors was conceived.

The Evolution of the Tradition in Catalonia

The first modern Pessebre vivent was organized in 1956 in Engordany, Andorra (Engordany, Andorra), initiated by Esteve Albert i Corp. It was a traditional presentation where the audience watched the action from the stage.

However, on December 24, 1962, in Corbera de Llobregat (Corbera de Llobregat), a novel approach was introduced - the audience moved among the live scenes, creating a sense of immersion in the story. The Living Nativity Scene in Corbera de Llobregat is considered the first in Catalonia and has continued to be celebrated annually without interruption. Over 200 actors depict scenes including the Annunciation of the Angel to the Virgin Mary, the shepherds, the washwomen, the birth in the cave, the Angel's announcement to the shepherds, the adoration of the shepherds and kings, the flight to Egypt, life in Nazareth, and typical Catalan scenes of rural estates.

Features of Modern Performances

Today in Catalonia, the Living Nativity Scenes (Pessebre vivents) are complex productions involving hundreds of actors, recreating various scenes from the life of Jesus and traditional Catalan landscapes. These performances usually include episodes such as the Annunciation, Christmas, the Adoration of the Shepherds and Magi, the Flight to Egypt, and even life in Nazareth.

Regional Diversity

In Catalonia, there are many Living Nativity Scenes (Pessebre vivents), each with its own characteristics. Some include dialogues, while others focus on musical accompaniment or landscape features. In total, the region has over 30 different Living Nativity Scenes (Pessebre vivents), united in the Federation of Living Nativity Scenes of Catalonia (Federació de Pessebres Vivents de Catalunya).
