The Vive Latino of Zaragoza
Vive Latino was conceived as a transition festival towards autumn, to take advantage of the last moments of summer. Furthermore, in the case of Zaragoza, it is seen as a start-up of the festival’s engines given the the festivities dedicated to the Virgin of Pilarwhich take place in the city at the beginning of October.
One of the defenders of Vive Latino in its beginnings was the current president of the government of Aragon, Jorge Azconduring his previous term as mayor of the city of Zaragoza. A commitment that the current mayor has wished to maintain, Natalia Chuecain its commitment to making the Aragonese capital a cultural reference beyond the Spanish borders, in order to promote Zaragoza also in Europe and the rest of Latin America.
While it is true that this festival would not be possible without the determination and creativity they have put into it since the first edition, Jordi Puigcreator and director of Vive Latino in Mexico and director of Vive Latino Spain, from Zaragoza Nacho Royo.
As they say, fans of this festival are attracted not only by the wide musical offer, but also by the musical and fun atmosphere that is breathed from early afternoon until late in the morning. The key to all this is undoubtedly the combination of music and gastronomy. For this purpose, the organization has 20 local and international food stands and food truckswith options suitable for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose-free diets.
