Mascleta

We went into centro yesterday to see the fallas under construction and to watch the days mascleta. We went with some friends in the ward. Virginia is a local spanish woman who married Reed from Colorado. She explained many things to us about fallas and the city of Valencia.


This is what the firecrackers look like before they are lit up. The are hung in rows. The mascleta is very rhythmic and musical.
I filmed a part of the mascleta. I cut out about 3 minutes because the awe doesn't transfer well on film. It is just one of those things you have to be there to witness yourself.
