This was the Mascletà
The pyrotechnic show, after the usual borderstarted with a series of four aerial withholdings marked by the variety of effects, always with thunder as a conductive thread. Second to second, the shot was winning in everything, and that there was no time for transition, to gain time. Everything that was launched made sense. And what a sense!
Shortly after reaching the second minute of the Mascletà, as a previous one of the start of the air fire, there was a revealing moment. The auction of a retention was superior to some other aerial ending these days in Luceros. And it was just a phase change.
