LA MASCLETÁ

For anyone never having experienced a Mascletá, it is dificult to explain the sensation and emotion, here is a description of one of the displays by its Pirotecnic....
It will be a very rhythmic display starting with an air accompaniment. The final phase will consist of earthquakes, volcanoes and air bombardment with shells of thunder and a facade with Volcanoes sequenced at high speed across the plaza. Finishing with a colourful volcano and thunder.

AN EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED!!
