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.
