The rental of balconies for the mascletà hangs the full sign

Prices vary between 40 and 120 euros per person depending on the day and the location of the terrace​


The Plaza del Ayuntamiento is one of the busiest places during the month of March . From early in the morning, dozens of residents and tourists gather in this place to find the best place to witness the mascletà . However, for a few years now, visitors have also been able to enjoy the fireworks show from above and without crowds . In this sense, the balconies have become a real business for owners and specialized companies, who have found a way through which to obtain money easily.

Although there are still ten days left to hear the traditional "Senyor pirotècnic, pot començar la mascletà", most of the balconies have already hung the "complete" sign . It is enough to take a look at the different search engines to discover that the places are sold out, especially during the big days.

The price varies according to the day and the location . Thus, during the first week, interested people can access this place for 40 euros a day, while the amount rises to 120 euros for adults or 80 for children between March 15 and 19 . This year, in addition, a greater number of visits is expected, since March 18 and 19 are Saturday and Sunday respectively. During the fireworks show, visitors not only hear the noise, but can also enjoy a catering service, a rice tasting or an open bar of drinks. The service is carried out between 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. mostly.

Some portals also offer the possibility of renting the balconies for groups of up to 25 people . In this case, the price can reach up to 2,000 euros per day. In most cases and given the high demand, the owners do not allow you to cancel the reservation, except if the mascletà is suspended.

Other nearby spaces are also rented, such as the attic of the Lys cinemas, which costs 40 euros per person during the first days and is above 100 euros during the week of Fallas.

Companies or multinationals have also joined this fashion. Some web pages offer to rent their meeting rooms during those days to hold meetings with clients or the team itself or present their products. In this case, the rent is around 1,700 euros .

However, not only specialized companies offer this type of service, since individuals also offer their homes through digital platforms . Prices here are reduced to 50 euros.

In recent years, the platforms have also offered the possibility of renting the balconies to witness the nocturnal mascletà, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., or the Cremà , from 9 p.m. to 12 p.m., which costs 80 euros.
