The new limited edition “Espanta Covid” firecracker. | LIFT-EMV

A firecracker that scares away the Covid with its explosion. It's possible? Piro Foc i Fantasia , the Valencian pyrotechnics company, believes so and last September they put all their efforts into making it so, creating a new artifact with the name " Espanta Covid ". At the time, the firecracker was created, as explained by Jorge Muñoz, manager of the brand, with the aim of creating it to honor the falleros in a symbolic way "at a very unfavorable moment for the entire group", during the last atypical Fallas .

Finally, it must be taken into account that the "Espanta Covid" is category F3, of medium danger and for people over 18 years of age.


Deze knallers in oktober gestookt tijdens onze trip naar Alzira. Zat een lekkere felle rode vlam op. Klappen wisselde nogal per knaller, maar zeker niet verkeerd. Alleen wel erg duur. Wij betaalden €10 euro voor een pakje van 5 😄

The police ask that eating and drinking be avoided in the mascletaes so as not to remove the mask


De fotograaf van levante-emv.com bracht vandaag, zoals te doen gebruikelijk, het publiek op de eerste rijen op het plein in beeld. Check hier of aan de oproep van de politie gehoor gegeven werd: https://www.levante-emv.com/fotos/fallas/2022/02/27/buscate-mascleta-27-febrero-63226978.html
Zaterdagavond zag ik iedereen een mondkapje dragen. Gisteren (Zondag) was dat ak een heel stuk minder. Zeg 25% wat ik voor Spanne vrij uitzonderlijk vind aangezien ze hier al die tijd anders met het mondkapje zijn omgegaan.

Mag hopen dat we hier niet van zulke prijzen gaan krijgen, dan is het gedaan met de hobby. Ik ga echt nooit zoveel betalen voor een simpele cake. Die pijlen gaan nog we.

Zaterdagavond zag ik iedereen een mondkapje dragen. Gisteren (Zondag) was dat ak een heel stuk minder. Zeg 25% wat ik voor Spanne vrij uitzonderlijk vind aangezien ze hier al die tijd anders met het mondkapje zijn omgegaan.
De trend zet zich kennelijk door, getuige het verslag op levante-emv.com van de mascleta van vandaag:

And a feeling in any case: relaxation spreads. Visual sampling shows that in the first rows there are masks, but that from the third or fourth they begin to be missed. In addition, people drink and nibble (the debris on the road shows it) and in the end, there are aerosols. The city council is cured in health and the "Mediterrani" with which it gave way at the beginning of the shot has been changed to a female voice that recalls the mandatory use of the mask.

Councilman Carlos Galiana does not want to draw the green stick. "We are launching the message because it is mandatory . On the balcony we strictly comply with it. It is an individual responsibility. No one is unaware of what situation we come from. We have overinformation and we insist again: prudence. The falleros were exemplary in September. And I ask the rest of the citizenry to join us".

Zie ook de fotogalerij van levante-emv.com, overduidelijk verschil met die van zondag. Over twee weken amper nog mondkapjes te zien, zou je zeggen. Foto 1 overigens wel treffend, gaan er twee vol overgave met elkaar op de bek :)

How much does a balcony cost to see the mascletà in Fallas

The prices of the boxes are getting higher and, even so, the tickets are already sold out for many days​


The mascletà de Fallas is one of the acts that is most massively followed in Valencia. And, for a few years now, the use of the balconies that overlook the Plaza del Ayuntamiento as viewpoints from which to comfortably see the mascletà de Fallas , a real business.

Companies specializing in renting a balcony to watch the mascletà in Valencia usually offer complete packages with catering, open bar or live music. In fact, it is easy to find portals that are dedicated to the rental of balconies and that can easily reach up to 3,000 and even 8,000 euros in the case of penthouses that are rented by the week.

Everything depends on the height or the floor on which the balcony is, the capacity and the visibility with respect to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.

The customer profile that uses this balcony rental service is varied and there are more and more companies or multinationals that use it to entertain their clients, nationals or foreigners, and that rent one or several entire viewpoints for weeks.

There are also hotel establishments that include in the package the possibility of seeing a mascletà from a privileged viewpoint without the narrowness and stress experienced at the foot of the square. Although there are more and more companies that take over the best viewpoints for their guests, with capacity for between 12 and 25 people, it is also possible to buy individual tickets for these balconies.

The prices of a balcony to see the mascletà in Fallas vary depending on various factors, although the one that really makes the difference is the day it is rented. It is not surprising, since it is not the same to see a mascletà on March 5, when you can buy a ticket to a third floor for 55 euros, than a mascletà of the big week of Fallas or the day of San José.

Not to mention the Cremà, a highly valued moment and which, in fact, has already sold out in many "premium" spaces, such as penthouses, where individual tickets can cost more than 500 euros per person that day .

And it is that, as the big week of Fallas approaches, places on the balconies are scarce and prices are rising.

Other spaces close to the Town Hall square are also rented to see the mascletà from there, such as the terrace of the Lys cinemas, in the Russafa passage, with 450 square meters of surface. There is also a Valencian gastronomic menu and musical background with a DJ.

It is also possible to see the mascletà from the balcony of some of the buildings designed by Goerlich, such as the Barrachina building, located at number 2 of the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, where they offer tickets for children at half the price (33 euros) of what costs that of an adult.
