Students from the school of El Far d'Empordà have transformed the town's streets into an open-air gallery for the Sant Jordi festival, offering an artistic and poetic route open to everyone.

From April 23rd to 26th, the town center hosts the exhibition Versos que habiten (Verses that Inhabit), an initiative featuring seven artistic-poetic installations. These creations, inspired by figures such as Rosa Montesa, Niki de Saint Phalle, Sonia Delaunay, Andy Goldsworthy, and Marina Abramovic, as well as movements like Land Art and Shooting Art, are combined with poems by various authors.
Each of the seven installations includes a QR code, allowing visitors to listen to recitations performed by the students. This activity is part of the school's initiatives aimed at connecting with the local environment and showcasing educational work to the entire community.
The official inauguration of the itinerary took place on the afternoon of April 23rd, with students walking through the installations and reciting poems live at each stop. The exhibition is freely accessible and can be visited throughout the weekend.
