Fallas in Valencia 2012
The 2012 Fallas Festival of Valencia has already begun and mascletaes lovers have enjoyed for several days the smell of gunpowder and its harmonic noise at the Town Hall Square. The “mascletaes” are held every day from 1 to 19 March at 14:00 h. at the Town Hall Square in Valencia.
The mascletaes, fireworks and the night of the fire along with the offering and the visit to the Fallas monuments, are the most anticipated events of the Fallas Festival in Valencia and, year after year, surprise and excite all who have the opportunity to enjoy this magnificent show.
Those who visit Valencia during the Fallas festival can’t leave behind the chance to attend a mascletà (Valencian for fire crackers). We recommend arriving at the Town Hall square with one hour in advance to take good place and enjoy the atmosphere and the pre-firework show entertainment.
Another of the shows that we recommend are the firework displays taking place in the Paseo de la Alameda on 16 and 17 March at 01:00 h. and, of course, the “Nit del Foc” (Night of Fire) on 18 March at 01:30 h. This show is considered, as a whole, a gunpowder explosion that lights up the sky of Valencia and a perfect melody that make converge the light, sound and smell of gunpowder in one memorable event.
