Fiesta Queens out today in their traditional dresses |
Falla "Rincon" |
The first one is in the Rincon de Loix, almost opposite Burger King; the second at the bottom of the Avd Mediterraneo where the Calle Gambo starts (pedestrianized road with Specsavers at the top end) and the third is up in the Old Town, on Calle Ortuña.
Mascletas on Avd Med |
They actually closed off the top end of the Avd Mediterraneo and caused traffic mayhem to let them off - there were also some in the Old Town as well as fireworks.... yes at 2 o´clock in the afternoon!
This is what you could see - thick grey smoke! |
Falla "Centro" |
The 3 children´s ones will all be burnt at the same time - 11pm.
The first of the main ones is being lit at 12 midnight in the Rincon de Loix.
Falla ¨Els Tolls" |
If you are thinking of going wrap up warm - although the weather has been glorious throughout the day, with temperatures reaching 21 degrees it gets rather chilly once that sun goes down.
Although you will be vying to get to the front to watch the action, once it is lit the intensity of the fire will soon have you edging backwards - either that or the spray from the firemans hoses which keep the embers at bay!
Also, leave any valuables at home - there will be lots of people... and probably lots of pickpockets about too!
Going up in smoke! |
