Hi,
I see the prep work is starting in the square where the market is every Thursday. Does anyone know the dates for this years fiesta?
Thanks
Ken

Parades on July 2nd and July 3rd are the key events from a spectator view.
Any other recommendations? Firstly during the day? Secondly, during the evening?

Next Sunday 12th from around 11.30am, is the 'chupinazo' when anyone can take part in a large water battle - they even pass out free water pistols...
Then the mayor arrives and hands out free traditional straw sunhats & there is a stall giving out free beer!
The mayor then goes onto the balcony of the museum and lights the 'chupinazo' - or large rocket . and people fire confetti canons, the music pumps up and the mayor throws out some giant beach balls.
When things quieten down a bit, people progress to the river bank to watch a grand 'mascleta' - daytime fireworks - at 2pm which is set off opposite in the Malecon del Soto park, and the fiestas are officially open.

Thanks for the tip - promises to be a lot of fun.
Any tips for the following week
