Campo de Criptana at sunset. This is Rosalía's new video clip!
“I who teased you so much...”. For that minority that still resists the spell of Rosalia , last November 2 the Spanish singer launched his second album, The Bad Want.
After her debut with The Angels -which was published in February 2017 and had the support of the great musician Raül Refree -, The Bad Want has managed to win over the national and international public, this time in collaboration with The Guincho , a renowned Spanish musician and composer.
Feelings on the surface, a real waste of art and flamingo by flag . That is the essence of an album that can boast, at least, of subversive and experimental : eleven chapters -as a song- narrate a violent love story based on the occitan novel thirteenth century Flemish.
TRA TRA
three catchy singles have been penetrating in their own way among listeners before the full album was released: there is no one who still does not recognize the "tra trá" of **Malamente (Cap.1: Augurio) ** , who has not sung one and again the "I think of you look" of _ Ch.3: Jealousy _ , nor who has not reproduced in a loop **Say my name (Chap.8: Ecstasy) **.
And, of course, everyone who has seen the dramatic video clip of **Bagdad (Cap.7: Liturgy) ** has felt identified with the bitter Rosalia's tears
'YOU DON'T GET OUT OF HERE ' and the windmills of La Mancha
As expected, Rosalía returns stomping. _You can't get out of here (Chap.4: Dispute) _ is the name of the song that gives life to her latest video clip, directed by Diana Kunst and Mau Morgó , from ** O Creative Studio **.
A complete sound and visual spectacle in which sirens, a deep roar of engines, the skidding of wheels and the magnetic voice of the singer contrast with a groundbreaking staging, in which our beloved **mills of La Mancha** are set on fire.
To which town of La Mancha does this mill belong?
But the lands of La Mancha are not the only thing that has caught fire, social networks they have too. And the culprit of the "dispute" is the dilemma that revolves around ** those who defend that the windmills in the video clip are those of Campo de Criptana ** and those who assure that it was shot in ** Consuegra . Without forgetting those few who put their hands in the fire for ** Alcázar de San Juan.
Though Cervantes would have chosen to resolve it diplomatically with a "in a place in La Mancha, whose name I don't want to remember" , we do not beat around the bush and have contacted the producer OR Creative Studio , who has solved that doubt that takes away your sleep: Campo de Criptana and Alcázar de San Juan are the main scenarios, both in the province of Real city .
The "giants" of Alcázar de San Juan have succumbed to Rosalía's charm and have allowed themselves to be defeated in the video clip of You don't get out of here , in which the windmills suffer a great explosion generated by the young Catalan artist, who smiles between sparks.
The unmistakable picture dominated by four windmills that appears at the beginning of the video belongs to the Hill of San Anton , in Alcázar de San Juan. “All the mills that appear are from Alcázar de San Juan. In Campo de Criptana it was only shot on the land popularly known as La Sierra ”, they reveal from O Estudio Creativo to Traveler.es.
Pointed out, the two mills that burn in 'You don't get out of here'
"Were three very intense days night shooting. The truth is that it was bitterly cold, but we had a top technical team and everything went off without a hitch. We are very happy that the people of both towns turned so much into the project and they will help us at all times”, comments O Estudio Creativo to Traveler.es.
A walk through Alcázar de San Juan
Rocinante, Fierabrás, Dulcinea and Barcelona. This is the name of the towers with blades that rise above the Hill of San Anton. What were originally going to be simple tools to grind grain, taking advantage of the force of the wind, have become one of the quintessential symbols of Alcazar of San Juan and on the set of the music video of one of the most famous artists of the moment.
The locations were chosen by the filmmakers, Mau Morgo and Diana Kunst . As O Estudio Creativo confesses to us, one of the reasons why Rosalía's new video clip was shot in this Spanish region is because the emotional link that Mau Morgó maintains with the beauty of its landscapes , since the creative director has roots of La Mancha.
“ Castilla la Mancha it is an icon of Spanish literary and popular culture that we wanted to play with in the narrative of the video”, tells us O Estudio Creativo.
Alcazar of San Juan, Ciudad Real
Despite the link between the author of Don Quixote and Alcázar de San Juan is a source of controversy, the municipality defends the truth of such statement with a birth certificate of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra , which resides in the Church of Santa María la Mayor and dates from 1558.
Campo de Criptana, Ciudad Real
Currently only four of the 19 windmills that the city originally had. Two of them house a museum, one dedicated to the interpretation of the landscape of La Mancha , while the other has a reconstruction of the original machinery of a 16th century mill.
The mills can be visited for free from Friday to Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in summer), as well as a guided tour can be requested in advance at the ** tourist office .**
In addition, throughout the year in Alcázar de San Juan there are numerous events and activities related to Don Quixote , such as, for example, the "Madness of Quixote" Cervantine Days and the Fair of the Flavors of La Tierra del Quijote, both in April; or the Conference on Wine and Cervantes Baptism, in November.
On the other hand, several occasions a year are held the traditional grinds , which consist of starting the mechanism of the mill so that the public can learn about the tasks of the old millers.
What will be Rosalía's next filming destination?
But if what you really want is to immerse yourself in the universe of Don Quixote, you should take the route that runs through the municipalities of Alcázar de San Juan, Argamasilla de Alba, Campo de Criptana and El Toboso , which served as inspiration for Cervantes.
Alcázar de San Juan keeps the aforementioned certificate of baptism of Cervantes, in the Cueva de Medrano de Argamasilla de Alba was where the novel was written , the "giants" that the famous nobleman faced were the windmills of Campo de Criptana Cervantes, and El Toboso was the home of Dulcinea , the maiden who stole Don Quixote's heart.
