What a scene! Vigo's movida of the 80s' Free Tour

Themed route to discover the origins of the 80s movida in Vigo, the protest of young people who couldn't find work, which meant that the only thing left was to make a place for oneself in society. Creativity was the order of the day, you either had to revive yourself or die.

A lot of economic problems, politics in the middle and a confrontation between movidas are the themes that will mark the milestone of this tour.

A thematic route that I will tell you about the origins of the movida in Vigo in the 80s, which began in 1972 with the outbreak of a strike, which led to an even bigger one in 1983. Young people could not find work and the only thing left was to reinvent themselves or die.

Many of them struggled to find a niche in the music industry and, boy, did they succeed. We will talk about groups like Os Resentidos, Siniestro Total, Golpes Bajos, Aerolíneas Federales, etc... We will also mention the Movida in Madrid, as one cannot be understood without the other.

The Movida from Vigo began in 1981 thanks to a concert held in the Salesianos Theatre in Vigo. Find out who was the group that brought about this movement and thanks to what.

Did you know that Felipe VI was in one of the venues where the Movida was booming, and that the first kiss between Alaska and Mario Vaquerizo also took place in Vigo, where?

On the other hand, we will not only talk about music, we will also talk about what young people did at that time to have fun, we will place ourselves in the historical, political and economic context, and we will also talk about designers such as María Moreira, hairdressers such as Mara Costas and even writers such as Xela Arias.

In addition, we will also mention the big international groups of the 80s, because the obsession to compete against New York comes from before Abel Caballero.

And of course, we will mention drugs and alcohol, elements that were all too present in this socio-cultural movement, and which unfortunately took the lives of many people.

Find out that the locals wanted to dissociate themselves from the Movida, and that the famous motto of Madrid is written with a V for Vigo, which caused the Movida in both Madrid and Vigo to go into decline at the same time because of a bottle attack.

And finally, discover the real protagonists of this movement!
