The fiesta has started

Well here are about 10,000 people in the square waiting for the 'mascleta' a daylight firework display that principally amounts to bombardment of ear-splitting explosions! over the next 8 days 2 million visitors will come to the city to party and celebrate 'fallas'
wow, a mass of humanity

That is a lot of people!! Are there crowds like this everyday of the festival?

Ts that a fountain I see in the background? I could never take this photo... I don't do crowds.

@jolefont Thank you
@twinsplusone There are crowds like this every day at 2.00pm which quickly disperse after the display but as we get closer to the 19th March the crowds tend to be like this all day long and all night long!
@dmariewms Yes it is a fountain (central fountain in several of my earlier photos) I love the atmosphere here! The crowds can get a bit scary but most of the time everyone is very good natured!
