Catalonia's patron saint is celebrated throughout the region. Traditionally, it's also the festival of love and roses, like Valentine's Day in other parts of the world. Sant Jordi also coincides with the deaths of Cervantes and Shakespeare, making it both a festival of lovers and a festival of books. On this day, it's customary for a man to give his beloved a rose, while she reciprocates with a book. So you'll find book stalls in every town.

Every year around 8 September, Olot puts on its best face to celebrate its patron saint's day, which has been declared a festival of national interest.

The concerts take place in the Plaça de l'Església. And new since 2015, the Molinet, a small viewpoint at the end of the passeig maritim, hosts emerging jazz groups, all from internationally recognised schools, including French schools.
