The Jardin de los Delicias is a recurring festival that moves all around Spain. This year it was Madrid and Seville but it has been going on for almost a decade, since 2018. It is located at the CAAC campus that also hosts a museum dedicated to contemporary art. This campus has a very large exterior space suitable to hosting large events. We drove over from the old town and parked in a new, very fancy parking lot. The day was warm and we were dressed for the cool of the evening ao we would explore a bit, sit in the shade for a while and then explore some more. there were only 21 seats in the VIP section and they were all filled. We hovered over them for a half hour until some opened up and we snagged them. Standing for the next 8 hours was not for us. We had a bite and some drinks, met new people and talked to them. Then the rains came and the covering we were under suddenly became the best spot in the entire venue. It was wall to wall people as the rain was coming down sideways! It blustered for a while and then rolled out and the blue sky came out again. Sebastian would not start till 10 PM so we sat very comfortably and waited.
Odd shaped elevated items
Art along the walk to the festival
The entrance off in the distance
We are in!
Immediately we see art pieces
Swinging up in the sky
Butterflies
Flamingoes on stilts
A shade "tree" another living pod and the lady in white
As the day wore on this was a very popular place to sit
It is still early and not so many folks are here
The music goes on all day
Owl you doing?
Flamingo
This is a list of all the types of wristbands that the ushers might see
The stage
The big storks are out
They look hungry
Bubbles!
Boots
I ordered a vino tinto (red wine) and they poured out a cool aid like sangria, sent it back!
I got a GnT instead
The crowd is filtering in
And it's full!
We found a chair
With room enough to squeeze in Cristina
Not so much room anymore
Some clouds are rolling in
A sub-par burger
It is drizzling but the show goes on
Very threatening
Blam! The skies open up
Lightening up
Bubbles!
The rain added a bit of mist that the lights caught
In line I saw this shirt with cloth post it notes sewed on
Beer vendors working the crowd
