Catalan News to record Sant Jordi podcast at Backstory bookstore in Barcelona

This Sant Jordi, April 23, the Catalan News team is heading to Backstory bookshop in Barcelona to record a special episode of the Filling the Sink podcast. 

And we'd love to see you there! 

Drop in to say hello or to give us a book recommendation for Sant Jordi. We'll be at Carrer Mallorca 330 from 12-1pm. 

Podcast host Lea Beliaeva Bander will be joined by Cillian Shields, Gerard Escaich Folch, Oriol Escudé Macià and Lorcan Doherty. 

Expect plenty of chat about all things Sant Jordi, from the legend of Saint George and the dragon, to how to pick the perfect rose.

We'll ask how books became so central to Catalonia's most romantic day of the year, and give some recommendations of our own.

And of course we'll hear from the streets of Barcelona on what is always one of the most enjoyable days of the year. 

Backstory is a new English-language bookstore in Barcelona, the perfect place for a Sant Jordi podcast.
