Only a few minutes after the gates opened were needed to confirm that interest in this festival continues to grow as the years go by. A few days ago, promoter Nacho Royo announced that the fifth edition of Vive Latino was set to far surpass all previous records, and this Friday the forecasts came true, with concerts, wrestling matches and restaurants across the venue reaching full capacity.
Not even the scorching heat that hit Zaragoza this afternoon, with temperatures reaching 41º at some points, discouraged those privileged enough to have their coveted pass or day ticket. "I'm not going to lie to you. The heat is unbearable. But I think the great music brought by today's artists will help ease the discomfort," Sergio said jokingly.
THE "OUTFITS" ALSO ATTRACT PLENTY OF ATTENTION
Clothing was another element that stood out throughout the day. "Hawaiian" shirts emerged as the attendees' favorite garment, with some as eye-catching as those worn by Mario and Juan. "On such a summery day, shirts with flamingos were a must. We're sure no one else here has as much style as we do," they declared with laughter.
Nor has anyone overlooked the fact that this is a Latin festival and, in fact, one of Mexican origin, which is why some attendees also showed off classic hats, along with parades of glitter-covered boots and striking glasses. "Both the hat and the boots are about getting into the "mood." You have to show a little Latin spirit," Cristina said confidently alongside her partner.
Vive Latino will close its fifth edition this Saturday, once again welcoming an avalanche of Latin music lovers. The forecasts are the same as on Friday: top-level artists, surprising festival "outfits"... and stifling heat that will once again exceed 40º.
