Saing George's Day’s activities will continue on Saturday, April 27, with a reading marathon, aimed at children and adults. Two works will be read: The small history of Santiago Rusiñol, by Vinyet Panyella, for children between 9 and 12 years, and Leaf of life (1898), by Santiago Rusiñol. To participate in the reading, you must call 93 894 03 64 (Ext. 1) or make the registration in the following form .

With the first work, children will be able to know the figure of the painter Santiago Rusiñol and enter in his story in a fun way.
