The strong weekend of Fallas in Valencia It’s practically here. But there are still six fireworks showscounting this one Thursday March 14, 2024pending until the party is over and, therefore, the Fallas monuments. Until then, the party collects a extensive fallero calendar, which includes the children’s plant that ends in less than 24 hours. This does not mean that cranes and scaffolding are just another element of special commissions these days. These failures finalize the details to wait for the jury’s visit. In any case, the guide includes today’s protagonist, the one in charge of firing the midday mascletà.

What time is the Mascletà

This Thursday is the turn of brambleclaw pyrotechnics, Tall. In the last failures she shot one day before, on March 13. She did it with 135 kilos of gunpowder and a “spectacular” earthquake in four phases. Then he chose to premiere his “classic ‘masclet’ with a digital touch at the end, which begins with a Valencian fireworks and four aerial retentions of thunder, whistles and chicharras”, as the head of the company explained, Paco Sancho, to the media then. “Then a blow gives way to the body that has four ground and air retentions quite loaded with material. To finish, a spectacular earthquake with four phases and 2,000 meters, culminated by a finale with double aerial and digital ground bombardment,” he explained.

Then he also spoke fourth generation of the family business: “The aerial has been beautiful and a ‘masclet’ without a good closure is like… well, I’m not saying it, but we all know it.” Today, the family returns to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento in Valencia at 2:00 p.m., when the fireworks show will begin this Thursday, March 14. But first, the representatives of the festival will sing from the town hall the mythical “Mr. Pyrotechnician, can the mascletà begin” (but in Valencian).
