I found a new appreciation for the skinny churros - menos mal these stands are temporary
These are the people between us and the mascletá
These are the people behind us
A balcony view could be fun - better to enter the ayuntamiento lottery
Yep - it gets smoky
Ready to Rock n' Roll - the Valencians tried to explain Fallas to us before we came. You just have to experience it
5 minutes of thunder
Mascletá on Women's Day
The falleras kick off the mascletá and sang afterwards - looks like they have burn protection for their finery

Traditional fallero dress

Traditional pañuelos
Pokemon pañuelos

This little guy was doing a happy dance in response to his mom throwing petardos
Pasacalles all day long for multiple days

Watching the burn
The heat was intense & the burn quick
