• The Legend tells us that there was a dragon that frightened the small town of Montblanc,

located in the south of Catalonia.

• To avoid his fierce attacks, people from town gave a young maid every day, who was chosen by a popular draw. Until one day, the slaughter weight was placed on the princess, who was given to the beast.

• When she was about to be devoured, St. George appeared, a brave knight who fought and defeated the dragon, stabbing his sword into the heart, and rescuing the beautiful princess.

• Then, from the blood that flowed from the heart of the dragon, a red rose was born. Hence the tradition of giving a red rose to women, the tradition of the book came later ... some believe that the princess wrote a love poem to the gentleman.
