Alicante which is about 1 1/2 hours from Valencia has a similar festival like Fallas where they burn huge figures and blast off insane fireworks. But the firework above is just plain frightening. OMFG … the scariest part starts at minute 7:11! You can skip directly to it by clicking on the minute link.
I prefer fireworks like the one we just saw this Sunday: Mascletà de Colores
Even though I would go to the Alicante one with ear protection and access from a roof or something so I can take a video and pictures for my collection
!
Question? Would you ever attend that Alicante Firework?
Nicu … hello and thank you for your comment. I had the exact same thought … why during the day? Most Valencians would prefer the Mascletà to the fireworks at night. To them that noise is like music.
And after seeing my first Mascletàs I totally understand. Fireworks during the day does makes sense. It’s incredible!!!!!
Check out some more odd and awesome fireworks:

same thoughts here… daytime wtf?! seems like quite a vast waste of money + effect.
Problem too is time
because they already do have fireworks at night … so to even squeeze in more they have to do some during the daytime. Hehe!

The fireworks looks really nice, but I can’t understand why they didn’t made it during the night, it would have been much cooler. I never saw a firework during the day.
