Mum's off to Valencia

I'm so jealous! Been listening to the mascleta all week. I've been trying to find the webcams which we've used the last couple of years to view the activities. One old favourite is in the Plaza De La Virgen. The other one was in the Plaza Ayunamiento, which is nowhere to be found :-(
This time last year, we were there....in fact we arrived from Barcelona on the 15th, the night of 'La Planta' which is the night that all of the Fallas get placed into position in the streets, and really is the start of the party! Look very closely at the picture. You can't really get the scale of this monument, until you see the very small man sat in a sling hanging from the crane, adding the finishing touches. (Clue: He's just above the groom's top hat!) Amazing!
