Featured Festival: La Mascleta del Las Fallas

You could be forgiven for taking shelter were you to stumble across La Mascleta in Valencia during Las Fallas. City Hall's gift to the Valencianos arrives promptly at 2pm daily during Las Fallas in the form of enough fireworks to take out a South Pacific island or a medium to well-armed junta. Loud explosions ring out for up to a quarter of an hour from a fenced off section of the Plaza Ayuntamiento where thousands of locals gather to ummmmm....hear the fireworks. A little ear blood is a given escpecially at the tail of proceedings where a number of sonic booms signifies the end of the days bang fest. Take a peek at the vid to see for yourself.
