Valencia lights the fuse: these explosions do
Pirotecnia Peñarroja shoots the first mascletà of the fallero cycle with a powerful shot of almost six minutes that has delighted all attendees.
Few more eloquent ways to say that Valencia is already in Fallas than almost six minutes of thunder. The first mascletà of the fallero cycle has gathered tens of thousands of people in the Town Hall Square on a cold and cloudy day. The sky, which threatened rain, has not prevented massive attendance at the square. This is a city that in the middle of a pandemic, in full confinement, the time of the municipal fault was passed by WhatsApp. So go and tell the Valencians not to see the first mascletà. There will be more difficult things in the world, but I can't think of too many either.
Peñarroja has fired almost 142 kilos of pyrotechnic material with a classic but rhythmic approach, perfect for a square so festive that when the pasodoble El Fallero sounded thousands of people moved like waves. It was impressive to see him from the balcony. The pyrotechnics of the Vall d'Uixó have been shooting on day 1 for 32 years. It is, like all companies that shoot the gunpowder in the cathedral, a guarantee of success. In addition, this Sunday's mascletà has been of the academics, with a slow start accelerated two minutes before the central section, of a powerful earthquake when the entire square was already covered by smoke.
More than four minutes of detonations and flashes among the white that flooded the heart of Valencia have given way to a final stretch very close to the balcony that has made an entire city vibrate with an immeasurable, superb, white and very powerful earthquake. The ovation, when many of our legs were still shaking, has begun long before the last thunder. And then, Valencia in Fallas, in case there was someone in the northern hemisphere who was left with doubts that the most scandalous city in the world is partying. And what we needed.
