Description:
Spanish Miguel de Cervantes and the English William Shakespeare share an important date: the day they passed away, April 23, 1616*. In 1995, UNESCO declared it World Book and Copyright Day, which is also Saint Jordi’s Day in Cataluña. April 23rd soon became a popular celebration of the love for others and the love of reading that goes beyond Spain. Please come join students of Spanish 321 in sharing desserts, flowers and chronicles of the Spanish-speaking world.
*For those of you interested in the coincidence, please check the Gregorian vs the Julian calendar.
