Wed 23 Apr, 2025, from 10:00
The 23 of April is worldwide considered the International Book Day, and has the goal to promote reading, the editorial industry and author's rights.
Known in Ibiza as Día de Sant Jordi, the legend says that Sant Jordi (Saint George in english) defeated the dragon that dominated the village and captured the princess. From the blood of the defeated dragon, there grew a rose bush. According to tradition, red roses are gifted together with a book.
During this day, the island's main towns and villages will be holding their open-air book fairs during all day, with lots of book stalls on different themes and presentations of books by local authors.
Usually, other activities are held in parallel, mostly aimed at children, such as storytelling or giant street games.
Enjoy reading and tradition on such a special day!
