Old Fashion Mascleta Firework – Engraellat – 5 Years Fallas being a UNESCO Intangible Heritage

It had been over a decade since I’d last seen an Engraellat, an old-fashioned type of mascletà that uses heavy metal cylinders packed with gunpowder instead of the usual strings of firecrackers, and I finally got the chance to film one properly. Valencia has an astonishing number of different firework traditions, and this antique style, documented as far back as an 1885 painting, is one of the more obscure ones still occasionally revived. Worth the twelve-year wait, and worth protecting your ears for.
