Vagos Metal Fest, the festival that is "good for everyone"

Vagos Metal Fest, the festival that is "good for everyone"
Some people came to the festival for their honeymoon, others in an old hearse. Twenty thousand people are a breath of life in the town.

A woman in a pink t-shirt, a man in a pink tank top, -orange and another with a “t- -yellow shirt. Walking around Quinta do Ega, the Vagos Metal Fest venue, you'll mostly see people dressed head-to-toe in black, like flocks of crows wandering through the town center before heading toward the stage area at concert time. Santiago, a 31-year-old Colombian from Bogotá, is one of those rare exceptions, wearing his yellow Iron Maiden t-shirt. Wearing mirrored sunglasses, lip and earlobe piercings, rings on his fingers, and tattoos covering his entire left arm, he sits on a beanbag chair on the lawn next to the Cafeteria Bar, in the shade of a leafy tree that provides shelter for several patrons drinking beer to kill time before Moonspell, Diyng Fetus, and the other bands on the bill begin their performances that day.

Santiago married Natalia, a 30-year-old Colombian woman, in May. "We're here on our honeymoon," he laughs. Even with a broken leg and moving around with the help of crutches, his wife didn't stay home to heal. Although based in Madrid, they define themselves as "nomads," moving from country to country. "Here, you can feel the energy of the people and the people," he says.
