On Thursday the first thing which attained my attention was lack of water in all taps. I didn't know what happened, but I decided to have a breakfast and then decide what to do next. I applied for a few jobs which may be useful as additional jobs for me during the summer. Then as I was not able to take a shower I decided to do some exercises. I run along the coast of the island, round the castle and then I had a walk around streets with small shops and cafes in the centre. On the main square there was a book market. I had a quick glance at available books, but came back home with an intention to come back later as I didn't have money on me. I had dinner as water was already back :) In the late afternoon we went with Miguel to check out the books. I found something for myself like my friend did, but what was the most enjoyable for us was a small snack which we could buy on a local stall accompanied by a small cup of wine. Was delicious! A pleasant moment of the day:) After returning home my legs were dying after all running and walking.
Naya told me that the day was a well known dia del libro in Catalonia. People usually go to the market of books in Sant Jordi to buy books and meet with their friends. The tradition says that girls present books to boys and boys rosas to girls. I think it is a really cool tradition. I am starting to realize that the region of Catalonia has got many unique and amazing traditions.
