A good mascletà and at the price paid

Dragon Pyrotechnics is adjusted to the 8,000 euros paid by the City Council in a shot that the public likes


The public that has filled the Town Hall square this Wednesday in the second mascletà of the Fallas 2022 has known what a pyrotechnic show is at the price it touches, that is, the 8,000 euros paid by the Consistory. And the public liked it, applauding the members of Dragon Pyrotechnics after a sober shot, brief and far from "frills", as Ángel Valdés, one of the company's members, pointed out.

It was already announced by Piroval, the sector association, as published by LAS PROVINCIAS. The Covid-19 crisis continues to trap many of the companies and it was time to give the City Council a call to raise prices. The argument that Valencia is a showcase and you have to be more than good no longer serves the majority who are fighting to get out of the red.


"This year we have been caught without money," said Valdés, who confessed that they had been about to not go to what was the second appointment with the Fallas. “We said that this year we were going to shoot what they paid us. Someone will come to get 20 or 25 thousand euros, but we have tried to have a united position in the association, "explained the pyrotechnician.

The result was a powerful show, which concentrated between 16 and 17 kilos in the earthquake. “It is the part that I like the most,” Valdés smiled under the mask. As a prelude and the only "flourish", the start was marked by the colors of the Senyera in the sky, as a greeting to the fans. "We are going to the point, to explode, we have gone to burst," he stressed.

In the municipal balcony the shot was also applauded. This Wednesday the Erasmus students from the Polytechnic University were invited, accompanied by the rector Pepe Capilla, as well as representatives of the Magdalena de Castellón and some commission from Valencia. The provincial president of the PP, Vicente Mompó, could also be seen, as well as Javier Camarasa and Juan Carlos Caballero, from New Generations of the popular formation.

But the guest who produced the most reaction was Samantha Vallejo-Nágera, one of the judges of the MasterChef cooking program, which has precisely recorded these days in the Plaza de la Virgen. The chef and presenter ended up jumping leaning on the stone balustrade in the earthquake part. Dragon Pyrotechnics were right and everyone liked it.
