Los balcones de la mascletà

The picture above demonstrates how I enjoy my Mascletàs: ground floor of the Plaza de Ayuntamiento. Others are more fortunate, and can watch them from one of the plaza’s many balconies. You can rent your way into one of those but I’ve read that the starting price is €6000 for any of the last 5 mascletàs of Fallas. I’ve started a thread in the Valencia Forums asking if any of our dear readers have access to a balcony (or rooftop) so I can take a video and pictures from high up … but for free! We have no budget. And I promise not to stay longer than 5 minutes!

In the meantime, it’s kind of fun to watch people on their balconies from down below:
