Matthew's experience in mascletas

Hey, today we are going to speak with Matthew about his experience in the ''mascletas'', a ''mascleta'' is an activity which consists in throw fireworks at the 2:00 pm.

Matthew told us that the mascletas was one of the most impressive things about last Fallas, he went to 5 or 6 mascletas during the month and his favourite one was the vulcano mascleta because of the wonderful colours. Is the first time that he heard something that loud, it was like a wall of noise and everyday he can hear it from his flat because of the power of mascleta.

He would have liked to see the mascletas in Alzira, but he need to wait until next year. Everyday at 2 o'clock the Plaza del Ayuntamiento filled up completely so sometimes was difficult to go home at this time.

Here we have an image of vulcano mascleta:
