A day of roses, books and movies
Sant Jordi at Andorra’s illa Carlemany shopping centre holds all the essential ingredients for a memorable celebration: books, roses, storytelling, and the perfect romantic movie at Cinemes illa. To round off this special day, we have some great book recommendations from Llibre Idees, the bookshop on the 2nd floor of the shopping centre.
Activities for the whole family
From 10am, the ground floor will come alive with rose and book stalls, which will be there all day. In the afternoon, celebrations will ramp up with an engaging storytelling performance by Club Piolet. Then at 5.30pm, Andi will entertain both young and old with stories and fables, and make it a special Sant Jordi for the little ones.
The perfect movie
Take advantage of the fact that Sant Jordi falls on a Wednesday this year! At Cinemes illa, Wednesday is discount day, so you can watch the perfect movie to top off celebrations at a great price. Don’t miss out on the chance for a literature and cinema double-up on this special day!
Book recommendations “made in Andorra”
For those of you with an interest in local literature, here are some top recommendations from the bookshelves of Llibre Idees:
Sentinella by Joan Peruga: live through the author’s experiences over 25 years accompanying his wife in doctors’ surgeries, consulting rooms and operating theatres, vindicating the role of the carer.
LĂ ser by Frank Garcia: a fast-paced thriller in which the hero, from a quiet Parisian family of doctors, gets mixed up in Russian mafia business.
L’à nima separada del cos by Eva Arasa: a crime novel that explores memory, violence and collective silence; complicit silences and invisible scars.
All intriguing, and we’ll see which becomes the best seller, but whether you end up with these or other titles under your arm, remember that reading sets us free!
