An election campaign basically consists of raising a bell tower. The higher it is, the bigger the bell and the farther the ringing reaches, the better for the officiating parish priest. However, sometimes, down on the street, things happen that distract people to the point that no one pays attention to the ringing.

The supposed performance by Rosalia – we say supposed because the organization has not confirmed anything – this Saturday afternoon on the Guadalquivir River, on a stage on the water surface between the San Telmo and Triana bridges, has all the characteristics of becoming an event that will distract the potential voter, at least in the political capital of the region.
The singer walked yesterday through the streets of downtown Seville surrounded by her followers
Rosalía is in Seville, staying, according to the city press, at the Alfonso XIII hotel. On Thursday afternoon she went for a walk along Constitution Avenue, which starts right next to the hotel. She documented the walk on her X account. Her followers were on the lookout and followed her on her walk.
About the concert, the little that is known is that it is organized by Netflix to promote its new series, Berlin. It will not have the format of her tour, it will be shorter, five songs, they say, and she will be accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Seville.
It will be at eight in the evening and, although it will be free, tickets have been distributed for a venue that covers the San Telmo bridge and the banks of the Guadalquivir, full of terraces that will make their fortune in the middle of the electoral May. The venue for those with tickets will be fenced and sealed so that outside it you can hear but not see. Everything points to a gathering with few precedents in the city.

Two boats located on both sides of the stage will be the VIP area of the event. On them will be the actors of the series and guests from the celebrity world that Seville is so good at.
The event catches the candidates of the regional elections on the weekend of the central acts of their campaigns although it is not impossible to see some of them on those boats. We will see.
In theory none of the main ones will be in the city. On Saturday Pedro Sánchez will accompany María Jesús Montero in La Línea de la Concepción, in Cádiz. And on Sunday, Alberto Núñez Feijóo with Juanma Moreno in Málaga. All far from Seville where the star at the top of the highest bell tower will be a Catalan from Sant Esteve de Sesrovires.
