The town of Montblanc has hosted a Sant Jordi Day with a large influx of public, filling its historic center with book and rose stalls from early morning.

From early morning, the streets of Montblanc's historic center have been filled with residents and visitors browsing the numerous stalls. The day, dedicated to books and roses, maintained a festive and cultural atmosphere throughout.
The focal point of the celebration has been the Plaça Major, where hundreds of people, including couples, friends, and families, gathered in search of the perfect gift. The stalls, offering a wide selection of literary novelties and roses of all colors, set the pace for a day that blends culture, tradition, and a vibrant atmosphere.
The municipality's educational centers also actively participated, bringing their students to explore the town and visit emblematic sites such as the walls, combining learning with tradition. Additionally, residents from the local care home also joined the celebration in the square, enjoying one of the most significant days of the year.
Roses continued to be one of the main attractions, with buyers carefully selecting the ideal gift, while books captivated the interest of readers of all ages. The lively and constant atmosphere was maintained throughout the hours, with a continuous flow of visitors.
The day's program will culminate this afternoon with one of the most anticipated events: a performance in the moat of the Muralla de Sant Francesc, where the knight Sant Jordi will present the rose to the princess. This emblematic event is part of the Setmana Medieval, reinforcing the unique character of the celebration in Montblanc.
