Description of Pictures: Around Pollinators by Lucía Loren
In Around Pollinators, environmental Spanish artist Lucía Loren raises a reflection on the fundamental role of native biotopes in generating resilience in the face of the serious threat of climate change.
With this purpose in mind, Lucía Loren proposes the creation of a garden of native plants that seeks to attract and feed local populations of fauna, improving their habitats, air quality and biodiversity.
There will be a special opening on April 22, from 11 am to 1 pm, concurring with World Earth Day. Roses and books will also be given to visitors as part of a pre-celebration of World Book Day & Sant Jordi Day, traditionally celebrated on April 23. RSVP encouraged but not required.

Saint George's Day (Spain) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Saint George's Day is celebrated on April 23rd but festivities may also begin on the eve of his feast day, on April 22nd. The earliest patronage of Saint George begins around the year 1096 when, according to legend, King Peter I of Aragon won the Battle of Alcoraz and vanquished the Moors as a result of his saintly intervention. His patronage in many cities and towns around the country is directly related to victorious battles of the "Reconquista." Saint George has been the patron saint of Cáceres, since 1229 A.D. The saint is also highly revered in the city of Alcoy, Valencia where the festivities include a parade of reenactments of Moors versus Christians, but the core of the commemoration focuses mainly on the legend of Saint George slaying a dragon to save a princess (see: Saint George and the Dragon). Legend The oldest legend for Saint George in Spain dates back to the 11th century and is directly related to his association and patronage with Crusading Christian armies in the Reconquista, where he appears above the field of battle on a steed bearing a red cross on a white flag and rallying the troops to muster all their energies against the enemy. The first documented source for the legend is at the Battle of Alcoraz in Aragón Kingdom. Such was the victory and fame that came from this decisive battle that thereafter St. George became a rallying cry for Crusaders throughout Spain, Portugal, Europe and all around the Mediterranean. The St. George legend strongly parallels the story of an earlier apparition by the apostle Saint James at the Battle of Clavijo helping the Christian army to victory against the Moors. This is primarily the legend popular all over Monzón, Spain. In Monzón, Huesca – the region's name changes depending on the person asked - Black Death was killing hundreds of people because of the large quantity of rats there were in the city. The Lord of the city offered richness and his daughter to a man behaving a dragon which would eat every rat. After working the job, this man was not given what was agreed and left the dragon attacking the city and eating people. Scared to death, the inhabitants decided to pray Saint George for help. A white knight (alsi called Sant Chorche) appeared and killed the beast, saving the population to Death
