Valencia welcomes 2009 with a ton of gunpowder at the Alameda

Miguel Zamorano Caballer will offer a Neapolitan-style mascletà tomorrow afternoon at 2.00 pm at the Alameda.

It will be one of the biggest mascletàs with an abundance of aerial fire and an outstanding earthquake-like ground motion. The show will last approximately 10 minutes”, says Miguel Zamorano.
