Barcelona's iconic La Rambla will still mark Sant Jordi on 23 April, with special events organised by the Amics de la Rambla (Friends of La Rambla) association despite ongoing urbanisation works. While traditional book stalls have been relocated to Portal de l'Àngel and Avinguda de la Catedral, and rose florists have moved temporarily to Plaça de Catalunya, the promenade remains committed to the celebration. Amics de la Rambla aims to "reclaim the most traditional Sant Jordi and remind everyone that Sant Jordi and La Rambla will always be together," according to a statement. The association has urged Barcelonians to visit Plaça de Catalunya to purchase their Sant Jordi roses from the relocated La Rambla florists. Additionally, the three bookshops on the promenade, Casa Beethoven (specialising in music), the century-old Llibreria Pompeia, and the newer FNAC, will all be open throughout the day. ## Special Activities and a New Poster To symbolise La Rambla's enduring connection to Sant Jordi, Amics de la Rambla has organised two specific actions. From 10am, the Catifaires del Raval group will create a floral carpet in Rambla Santa Mònica, where renovation works have concluded. This ephemeral floral display aims to recall the significance of La Rambla's florists and the celebration itself on the promenade. Sant Jordi will also see the presentation of the fifth poster in the "Pósters de la Rambla" collection, dedicated to Rambla dels Caputxins. Designed by Reskate Studio, the poster reflects the Sant Jordi celebration in this section of La Rambla, honouring its century-old plane trees and the traditional event. In parallel, Amics de la Rambla has compiled a list of fifty activities that visitors can enjoy on La Rambla during Sant Jordi, even with the ongoing works. These suggestions range from simply strolling along the promenade and observing the construction to visiting adjacent open spaces, such as Palau Güell on Nou de la Rambla and Palau Savassona (Ateneu Barcelonès) on Carrer Canuda. The list also encourages supporting the establishments that remain open along the promenade and suggests a nostalgic activity: "remembering old times by buying a newspaper from La Rambla's kiosks." Amics de la Rambla anticipates a strong return for Sant Jordi celebrations on the promenade in 2027, once the urbanisation project is complete, reinforcing the deep-rooted tradition of the festival in this central Barcelona location.
