Countdown to the mascletàs, one of the most beloved and revered traditions of Valencians, which you can enjoy from a balcony
What’s the most eagerly awaited time of the year in València?
Fallas (València’s famous fire festival) and, along with it, the mascletà (midday firecracker display).
In case you didn’t know, the mascletàs take place every day from 1 to 19 March at 2:00 pm in València City Hall Square and are the favourite event for locals and visitors alike.
It’s an experience you’ll never forget: every day at 2:00 pm, thousands of people gather in the City Hall Square, as if it were a ritual, to witness an incredibly powerful pyrotechnic display lasting between 5 and 7 minutes.
And what minutes they are!
A show that blends sound, the smell of gunpowder, colour and the contagious excitement of the crowd, building in crescendo to an apotheotic finale.
In short, it’s something you simply can’t miss.
Of course, you can enjoy the fireworks right there in the square. But without a doubt, the best way to savour the mascletàs is from a balcony, with a privileged viewpoint and away from the crowds. And best of all, they’re within everyone’s reach.
