Vida Festival

From one event to the next.
I'm back in Barcelona since last Wednesday night and finally united with my lovee Lluna again.
We planned our first week to be around Barcelona. But the previous weekend restructed the pawns and some friends invited us to join them to a festival. No sooner said than done and after Lluna's and mine reunion plus a couple of hours of sleep we went to the festival called Vida.

Some history:
It was created in Vilanova i la Geltrú in 2014, taking over from the former Faraday Festival —the first initiative that gave a boost to the capital of Garraf as a stage for international music—.

I really like the idea of what they try do convey and say:

Cultural Decentralisation

With a renewed breath, Vida bets on cultural decentralization in our country settling in Vilanova.

This is not a festival

We want to treat our audience as people, not as units. To this end, we’ve decided to move the culture away from the city centre deploying the festival’s experience in a natural environment of great beauty, wide and open, comfortable and welcoming for everyone. In a free-of-crowds space, the performances become memorable for an audience that finds, in our festival, a unique way to imbue themselves with music and culture.

It felt pretty good. A lovely festival with lots of peeps and great musical gems. Everyone danced, kissed, partied, explored the area and had fun. At least that's how it seemed to me.
Where is love and music, there's also drama, right? Like, where love is found there are tears to share. In a positive way 💚

Also, we had our own concerts in our camp area because most of us are musicians. It's so precious to be with birds of a feather (like-minded people).

Beautiful creatures getting ready for the event.

The next photo shows an absolute fantastic invention. I have never seen that before. So please excuse my excitement. How creative, to go around, serve fresh cold tapped beer to the crowd. They can keep their spot and have a new drink. I just got one drink to support the idea. Though I'm someone who like to squeeze myself through the sweating people and smile into at all the variety of faces.

For my surprise, they put an arcade zone to play 🍒

My childhood game was amongst it 😍.

While the sun was out in full force, we did have a couple hours of heavy rain one evening. Thankfully, one of our savvier number thought to bring an umbrella to the festival. So we were able to keep dancing and having fun while being dry, until the musicians couldn't handle the wet. After such a dry period, the rain was a welcome sight for plants and animals, and so to us.

Barcelona 💜
Thanks for letting me know. So close and yet so far.
We totally understand you. We are short of time as we are on a big journey and only in Barcelona for a few days. But that stay here is more to organising life than having the fun part, like, meeting all our friends and family, or beach time.
But you never know. Maybe we'll bumb into each other in Poblenou (north east) area. We'll be there from 2 pm for a walk, café and foodies.
Sending you a big hug, too 😇
I wish you a wonderful day in Barcelona.

That looks like a great festival! I do remember a festival in Holland (yeaaaars ago, haha) where some guys were walking around with beer on their backs as you show in this post. I thought it was a great invention at the time, even though I don't drink beer it's a smart move..

Hope you guys are good!

Oh really!?
Maybe it's because I never go to commercial festivals?
Like, right now. I'm in Madrid at Mad Cool Festival and see the Beer Backpackers everywhere.
I'm getting to like a good beer more and more. But it's all about company and cultural reasons.

Thank you! We are very good. A little bit on a hustle move but that's travelling sometimes, isn't it? I wake up and think I'm still in a different place 😂😅

Lovely greetings from the both of us

That could be the reason, these were commercial festivals indeed.
Haven't been to a festival in forever, lol. Maybe soon.. who knows..

Aren't you guys staying in Barcelona? I thought you were settling down there, or was that temporary?

What a lovely picture, seeing Lluna reminds me that she sent me a message on Discord but I didn't answer it yet. I have been a bit disconnected from Discord as well as some shitty things happened last month, our cat Mochi got hit by a car and died and a few weeks ago my mother died as well..

Although we have been estranged for some years, I have to admit, I'm a bit messed up and all over the place with my thoughts..

I will make time to answer your lovely Lluna tomorrow :)

I wish you the best weekend!! <3

What the heck!? 🥺😳
Please, take all your time you need.
We also need our time to reply. In addition, we gratefully wait for good replies.
But the most important reason you have is about your recent events.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Mochi was you second beautiful creature you took care of, right?
Rest in Peace Mochi 🙏🏽
And I just saw that you foster some other kittens, which started to became friends.
And your mum? Oh dear...
Please, take all the time you need.
We wish you all the best.

Lovely greetings 💚💚

Well, Barcelona is one of our goals but still figuring out where is a good place to be. At the moment, Germany good because of fruitful jobs.

Btw. will we see each other at Hivefest8 in Rosarito?

Well as long as you're not sure and able to travel around, have fun :)

Unless a financial miracle appears, we won't be there. We're trying really hard to move to another home within a few months so that's priority..
