Another feature of Las Fallas is the fireworks. You can't escape them. It's like the city's a war zone for a week - they wake you up early in the morning and go on through the day. Each day there is three fireworks events, la despertà, la mascletà and el castillo. La despertà occurs every morning at 8am and consists of setting of fireworks in order to wake you up. Each day at 2pm in the main square of the city, the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, there's a thing they call Mascletá. This is 120 kilos of gunpowder translated into a lot of noise. Every night at either 12am or 1am there is a castillo and this is a fireworks display. The last night it's called la nit de foc, the night of fire, and this is the most impressive.
