Sant Jordi – Catalunya's answer to Saint George – is celebrated with book and flower stands lining the streets in accordance with the legend that claims these were given as gifts to lovers or crushes on April 23 in the region.

Mary signed copies of her books on the history of Ancient Rome and her latest work, Women and Power, and thanked all those who attended her stall for giving her the chance to join in the fair for the first time.
