Great read, glad you had an amazing time!

Great to read all your comments. BTW I forgot to mention that I was only there with one friend. We are the two in Black in the picture (Charro clothes), I'm the one with the black sombrero on hahaha, and yeah, my musical taste might not be the best, hahaha.

Awesome to read this Eduardo. Spent three weeks in Mexico a few years back (well away from Cancun - Mexico City, Oaxaca, Escondido etc) and had a fantastic time there. Glad to see you had such a great time in our special place too. 

 

Bit of a joke question, but partly genuinely interested - did you eat at any of the many Mexican stalls at Glasto? Haha

Great write up, good to read. Glad you had a good time man.

Hey mate! Hahaha, it's a funny question I gotta admit. To be honest, No, I didnt, and now I think I should have. The reason that I didnt is that there were so many food options that I didnt want to eat "Mexican" food, and also, because I thought that I was gonna be dissapointed if it doesnt taste as good as it does here, as spicy as it really is, I didnt want to know if you guys were eating "no-so-Mexican food" hahahaha. Now I wanna know what the taste was!

It probably would have been tex-mex anyway man. Mexican restaurants here in the UK are only just starting to catch on to proper Mexican food as opposed to American Mexican food, and don't think any of it found its way to Glasto!

Great read UK_Eduardo. I'm genuinely welling up. This was my 6th Glasto but for a number of reasons it felt like my first. Hope you get back here for another one day my friend

So lovely to read, I love the festival so much that it means even more when other people feel the same way

Hope to meet you on your next trip here!

I was checking out the Mexican stalls but it mostly looked like they were doing "tex mex" stuff and I wanted something more authentic.

What a lovely read. Must be dusty round here, me eyes are welling up! Ridiculous.

So glad you enjoyed it, photo is badass.

[Vanderlyle]

Lovely stuff. We met some Mexicans. They were sound.

But yeah, always great to read these and be reminded about how special the festival is. Also reminds me why my first Glasto will probably always be my favourite.

Great writing Eduardo.

If anyone ever asks what Glastonbury is really like I'm going to show them your post!

[noplacelikehome]

Great post Eduardo and so glad you had a great time maybe next time you come you could come along to one of the meets, hope you are able to get back soon x

[UK_Eduardo]

If I ever go again I think I'll make it to the forum meeting It'll be great to met you all guys. You've been really cool ! I like European people, I think we're very similar about freedom, joy, fun, brotherhood and peace of mind. 

Saludos Amigos!

Yeah the 'Mexican' food stalls aren't really proper Mexican food so it would almost certainly be disappointing if that's what you're used to (I've never been to Mexico but my knowledge of the food is based on a young couple from somewhere near Medria who used to have a market stall near where I worked in London selling the food they where taught to cook as children)

Really great post Eduardo. There is a fair bit of negativity on these forums and glasto chat facebook group because we're so used to UK festivals and we obsess about lineups. It's so refreshing to hear an outside opinion on the festival.
