About 130 hours of camping (and wait, that’s nothing with what will come later) is the time of their lives that Víctor and Candela have invested to secure a very first front row at the Rosalía concert at the Palau Sant Jordi. heat and snakes. Also some rat. This journalistic excursion to the hours before the opening of the venue would be a trip in vain if it did not include a talk with this couple that little less than has crossed the Nefud desert, the one that Omar Sharif tells Peter O’Toole in ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ is humanly impassable. And they do. For temperatures, the comparison is not inopportune. In the shade of the roof of the Bernat Picornell pool you are safe from noon. They settled on Tuesday, at eight in the morning and, what I said before, that is nothing. They do not have a ticket for Saturday, but deliberately bought it for Sunday, so, returning to Lawrence, they will witness, when the gates open, the taking of Aqaba, thousands of motomamis walking, trotting and more than one to the race.
If you are looking for gossip about Víctor and Candela, or about Rosa and Laia (after I present them), look in other media, not here, because theirs, on the one hand, requires management, whose absence has made many adventures fail throughout history. They have had it. Then there is that something like this requires courage. The aforementioned heat and snakes is only part of what happens in Montjuïc. At night, the echo of the bottles and what are not bottles in the nearby woods say it is intimidating.
Third are the numbers. A Tik Tok video has made Victor quite popular. 386,000 views already wanted by most media outlets for most of their news. Moreover, they have interviewed him about 24 or 25 times since Tuesday, which is worth a half master’s degree in communication. It is an apprenticeship, whichever way you look at it. In one of the ‘interviús’ they even subjected him to a trivial about Rosalía. Not one failed.
Fourth. People are known. She discovered Candela as a friend in line at a previous Rosalía concert. On this occasion she has forged a relationship with Laia, 13, and her mother Rosa, who asked for two days of vacation from the company to be able to camp with her daughter from Wednesday night. In his case, they belong to the ‘howeites’ who will take Aqaba in the first concert. They’re almost to the head of the queue to get in when the doors open at half past seven. They have slept in the open, but also a few hours inside the car. He seems that the bottle was scarier than the rats, who have also seen them go by.
Then there is the fifth lesson from such an experience. At first, it’s unpleasant. It is hate. In social networks there is a lot of berzotas, people who use digital channels like a rifle. They usually hide their real name because they don’t really have much to teach either. It seems that Víctor and Candela have needed only half a week to get immunized.

Was it necessary to camp from Tuesday or, in the case of Rosa and Laia, from Wednesday? If it was to get the best spot, maybe not. Less than 10 hours before the concert, for example, there were no more than 30 people at the doors of the Palau Sant Jordi, some of them, like Víctor and Candela, with tickets for Sunday. For Rosa, for example, she has served (it is a guess) to reweave that invisible thread that unites a mother with a daughter when the earthquake of adolescence begins, a stitch that becomes so tense and sometimes breaks. Even Rosa’s mother, that is, the motorcycle grandmother, has stopped by to greet them and bring them fresh fruit.
For Víctor and Candela, it is a way of paying tribute to Rosalía who, for that matter, could see fit to stop by at dawn to greet them. If it happens, it will be counted here.
