Las Fallas: Mascleta

Yesterday night I went to Plaza del Ayuntamiento to see the Mascleta. To be honest, I had no idea what to expect, all I knew was that it was going to be loud but let me say.. WOW!! What I seen has exceeded all my expectations. I got there about one hour and a half before midnight, when the Mascleta was planned to start, and the town was already buzzing with people! Since this was my first Mascleta, I wanted to get a good view of everything so me and Anthea decided to sit down in front of the Ayuntamiento (city council). It was relatively close to everything so we were able to see and hear everything (my ears were not impressed with me!)


There is a Mascleta every day of the week until the 19th of March but this one was a special one called 'Mascleta de colores'. I would totally recommend going, satisfaction guaranteed! Pics and videos below.

P.S: the Mascleta is more of an audio show rather than a visual one, despite having a firework display so be prepared for it, your ears are going to feel like they are gonna pop out any minute.
