Coldplay was in Barcelona!!!
Last Friday, the 4th of September, the English band Coldplay has visited Barcelona to give there a great performance. Despite of some technical problems, the show was really great!!
The last great concert of Coldplay in Spain took place exactly a year ago, at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona. The 63.500 tickets of the concert of this year that went on sale in December were sold within minutes. Over 60.000 people saw Coldplay playing at the Olympic Stadium with their Viva la Vida tour.
They were fantastic all of them, even Chris was brilliant with his delicate voice as we all know, and there was the same energy in the stage as always. Chris, the singer of Coldplay noticed that something was wrong and he apologized. Because of that they gave away free CD´s.
Still, it was a great Friday evening and we will be there when they come back!

Barcelona = Madonnaaaaaaahhh!
Yep! Last night the Queen of Pop 'did' Barcelona! A great performance was the result of months of preparation of the diva before touching Barcelona soil.
The public went crazy when Maddy entered the stage with a slamming classic "Ready to go-ooo".. Of course no opportunities were left aside to dedicate some songs to Michael Jackson.
A genius duo with Paul Oakenfeld converted the classic songs into rocking new songs. Unbelievable what imagination this artist has in order to understand what the public wants.
Flexible as chewing gum and dancing like crazy Madonna went literally jumping over the stage for two hours in a row. A geography leaded by Madonna's favorite dancer from france, Jamal.
Yes, Madonna is still the Queen of Pop for the approximately 50.000 spectators that came to the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium in Montjuich.

Tour de France in Barcelona...
Yep, yesterday for the first time in 40 years the Tour de France stopped by at Barcelona! Le Tour was expected to arrive in Barcelona on Thursday to leave again on Friday. Famous cyclists like Lance Armstrong, Alberto Contador and company entered quite dramatically into the city with crashes in the 'peloton' and all...
Then, on Friday, with some hurdes of people waiting for the big tour to leave the city, it was decided to leave Barcelona a quarter of an hour before the scheduled time. No notice of this was given to anyone.
Consequence of this was that thousends of Spanish, that normally tend to arrive shortly before an event, were left with some leaflets and trash that the Tour left behind and without having seen anything. A big applause goes to the organization that turned the city for two days into an inaccessable jungle for cars and other traffic and for what? Not even getting a glimpse of the runners...
A comforting thought however is that in 40 years probably they will pass by again..

Moto GP Barcelona won by Rossi!
After 25 rounds Valentino Rossi finally managed to pass his teammate Jorge Lorenzo in the final corner. It was a very brave manoeuvre which gave Rossi a lot of satisfaction. He said: ¨I didn’t know I was able to pull it off¨
Valentino already knew that the fight in the end was going to be between his team mate Jorge Lorenzo and him. In the training round the fight between them already started, but Rossi was in the end 48/1000e faster then Lorenzo.
This was also the 99 victory of Rossi and with the upcoming race at the TT from Assen Rossi can make his one hundred victory. So I guess it is going to be a spectacular race.
