Los Conciertos

The last two weekends have been filled with concerts and craziness! Last weekend I went to see Michael Buble with a co-worker from my old job. Michael Bublé attempting to speak in Spanish – life doesn’t get better than this.

This weekend MTV had their European music awards in Madrid. I can’t stand Katie Perry (or Kah-teeee Purrr-y as the Spaniards say) but I braved the crowds with my roommate and two friends to attempt to be blessed with a performance. Sadly (I am being more than sarcastic here) our closterphobia and common sense kicked in and we left after an hour of waiting. Below are a few pictures from the concert and the stage before the mobs of people almost took our lives.

Eva Longoria, the presenter of the European Music Awards, dressed up as jamón:

Before the MTV catastrophe we went to a festival inside Las Ventas in La Plaza de Toros. Las Ventas is the most famous bullring in all of Spain – I have yet to see a bullfight here in Spain but if I can get over my fears I hope to see a bullfight here before I leave.
