Sant Jordi celebrations and bookshops battling online giants

Sant Jordi - Saint George - is the patron saint of Catalonia. His feast day, April 23, is a celebration of love, roses and romance, as well as books and literature. Lorcan Doherty is joined by Guifré Jordan and Angus Clelland to chat about what makes this day so special for Catalans and how independent book stores in Barcelona are trying to survive and thrive in the age of online shopping. This week's Catalan phrase is 'ploure a bots i barrals', similar to 'it's raining cats and dogs' in English.
