Bryan Adams captivates Cap Roig as the Gavarres burn

Source Summary

Despite the express instructions from Civil Protection to avoid any unnecessary travel so as not to worsen the fire that is still burning uncontrollably in the Gavarres , Cap Roig maintained its opening concert with Bryan Adams on the bill. The surrounding towns, which did have a confinement order, cancelled their events following the recommendations of the authorities, but the prestigious festival of the "la Caixa" Foundation was held with absolute normality, full of tourists and holidaymakers, oblivious to the magnitude of the tragedy that increasingly affected the wooded mass of the forest massif inland. The smoke and flames were certainly far from the idyllic gardens of Calella de Palafrugell, but, at dusk, a whole greyish and reddish veil blurred the horizon before the first notes of the Canadian singer, who had the courtesy to ask for applause in recognition of the firefighters' work.
