Madrid Gay Pride 2011

DSC00391.jpg
Madrid's Gay Pride recently chosen by the viewers of MTV as the best Pride in the World, the event takes place over a 2 week period with a series of social, cultural and dance events, culminating in the Gay Parade, which takes place on Saturday the 2nd of July, followed by the Madrid Gay Pride Festival, which takes place on the city's leafy Plaza de Espana, from 6 pm into the evening.

The event, which attracts over 1 million people to the city for the parade is now one of the biggest tourist attractions for the City of Madrid. It makes national and international news.
In Madrid, it seems like the summer really sets in on International Gay Pride Day, when the streets in Chueca are lined with flags and garlands. Meanwhile the neighbourhood fills up with open-air bars and the main squares host live music performances. Staged over a whole week, the festivities reach their height on the Saturday (which this year falls on 2 July), with the parade in favour of LGBT rights. Each year the parade attracts a growing number of people from all over the world.

The whole Chueca neighbourhood, located a few metres from Gran Vía, is a good example of the tolerance and respect typical of a modern, open and cosmopolitan city. It is open to a whole range of lifestyles creating a combination that is fun and spontaneous, to say the very least. These festivities are not only celebrated by the homosexual community; instead, they are a favourite among people who want to live their lives freely. Proof of the fact is that instead of calling them the "Gay Pride festivities", we Madrilenians refer to "the Pride festivities."

As well as open-air concerts, chairs and tables out on the streets, multitudinous events and the madess typical of Chueca nights, MADO is also a week packed with cultural and protest activities programmed as part of the MUESTRA-T festival, hosted by different art galleries, cinemas, bookshops and associations that support the cause. In all, it is festivity for all tastes, for both those who want to plunge into nocturnal frenzy, and those who prefer to peacefully enjoy the day.

José Mercé at Teatro de la Zarzuela

josemerce.jpgThe singer from Jerez will go over his greatest hits at Teatro de la Zarzuela at 26th October 2009.

He is one of the great names in flamenco. A true native of Jerez despite moving to Madrid at a young age, he has been one of the great flamenco singers for some time. In fact, this decade he has become one of the best-selling flamenco singers.

José Mercé is bringing his magic to Teatro de la Zarzuela. The award-winning flamenco singer is introducing the songs from his new album, 'Ruido'. Songs like 'Contigo, Fe' and 'Que Venga Ella', among others, are sentimental ballads with a decidedly flamenco feel and carefully chosen verses. This time there will be no controversy.
