Macro Mascletà Universal – Edition #5 in Benicalap, Valencia
The shooting of the Macro Mascletà was set for 9pm, so we had plenty of time to kill. Luckily, these events aren't just fireworks but also a big street party.

For one month a year, the weirdly barren and flat concrete plaza in front of the City Hall is transformed into the nucleus of Valencia's most cherished obsession: the mascletá.
What better way to celebrate International Women's Day than by meeting the most important women of Fallas: the Fallera Mayor and her court? And we had the unforgettable honor of encountering them on the balcony of Valencia's city hall.
We do love the main days of Fallas, March 15th to 19th, but our favorite time are the weeks leading up to those days. There are so many things going on: parades, the Plantà, and tons of fireworks events which don't yet have huge crowds.
The Day of the Cridà has finally arrived! Every Valencian who is into Fallas has been waiting for this day the whole year. On the last Sunday of February, Fallas officially begins with a day packed with events to honor this special moment.
