Today is Saint George’s day, and it is celebrated in many places in the world. For me, it is special, as he is the patron of my town, Alcoy, and the local festivities are in his honour.

But Saint George is present in many other places, as can be seen in the Wikipedia. And guess where it is also quite important. Yes, in Stockholm. Here, as in most places (but Alcoy), Saint George is fighting with a dragon, which represents a neighbour country in the south which was battled by the Swedes some centuries ago.
