Residents of Spain are famous for their ability to turn any event into a bright holiday. The long -standing traditions of costumed festivities are honored in Lerid, the day of the heavenly patron of the city of St. Anastasia, which takes place on May 11, is especially magnificent. The processions that take place on a passionate week before Easter are very interesting. As in other Catalan cities, on April 23, Rosa and Book Day are celebrated here, when cavaliers give the ladies roses, and they give their chosen ones a book.
