The Madrid mascletà has made the noise it had promised, in every sense. Some of the 20,000 attendees, according to data from the Government Delegation, have put their hands to their ears, their chests have vibrated.
The gunpowder has crossed not only through the air of Madrid Río, but also among the political parties that have waged a battle over the controversial event. The pyrotechnic show lasted exactly seven minutes and managed to surprise even Fallas commissions that have traveled from Valencia to Madrid.
