Travel Now! UK - Love Parade

En este asunto

All you need is love apparently.

It’s a nice thought and true enough
but you can’t get by on that alone.

We need music and lots of it: drums, horns, guitars and even those head-splitting Vuvuzuelas that caught the world’s attention during South Africa’s hosting of the FIFA world cup. Crazy Frog on the other hand would not have been missed.

Gotta have dance: every kind be it Samba, Lambada, Breaking, Pogo-ing, Vogueing, Tango or Tapping and even the Macarena has it’s place (somewhere, I’m sure).

Colour of course almost goes without saying but say I will:
An essential ingredient in the recipe for a full and healthy
life or as is proclaimed throughout Costa Rica ‘ Pura Vida!’
and indeed the life lived in this part of the world is
pure as is possible.

Latin America is all this and more.

One big, year-long festival on the move, stopping occasionally, pulsating, breathing heavily then moving on; sometimes toning it down, sometimes ramping it up.
Rio De Janeiro’s Carnival celebrations are clearly the gold standard when it come to Latin festivals (or festivals anywhere for that matter) with five days of Samba,
costumes and great cuisine all against a shimmering, sun-drenched backdrop.
A mosquito-borne virus would never be allowed to stand
in the way of this cultural explosion of colour and music.

The Love Parade stops for no-one...
