So a server, who always found himself among those excited fibers, has enthusiastically received the publication of the memories of one of those who have known best during 25 years the festival from within. Joan Vich started serving at a bar and ended up being co-director of the festival and responsible for hiring many of the illustrious artists we saw on its stages.. Here I lived It is an emotional book that delves into the ins and outs of the organization, the anecdotes (many will sound familiar to you if you were also one of the regulars), the trips, friends and the uncertainty that surrounded more than one edition.
