That looks more like Shock and Awe than a firework display - Impressive but bloody terrifying.

Thats basically the opening of the Mascleta's which is a ground display based on a rythmic building of noise which is truly awesome,spectacular, and frightening.

The Fallas which is the last week now have Unesco world heritage status and the evening fireworks last anything up to 30 minutes and again are spectacular.

Be warned they will ruin any other display for you

Oh!Oh!
See new thread

Just come back from Spain. Please be aware that there is a new campaign in Spain to stop wild camping near the sea (ley de Costa) that is currently being enforced (particularly in Andalucia)

Looks brilliant - the Spanish seem to have this thing with fire and fireworks. In the Benicassim festival in January on one evening they light bonfires in streets, then on Paella day they have open fires heating enormous Paella dishes then on the final evening have " running wild fire" when youths in the town run around the streets letting off wild firecrackers.

Have been 'free camping' as well as sites, etc for a long time and I don't think many folk object to a single camper staying for 24 / 48 hours. The real objection seems to be when hordes descend and act as though they have 'a right' to do what they want.

There seem to be 2 issues here.
For camping, wild camping etc local laws can and are brought in to regulate times of stay etc and I can see that in certain circumstances it can be an issue particularly if numbers are high in some areas.
However having a motorhome gives the freedom to tour and if we want to visit somewhere (but not stay) for a few hours before moving on to another destination then somewhere to park is needed and this country is getting worse for this with height barriers being erected, or when this hasnt happened, quite often no provision for larger vehicles.
At least in France for example with the Aire system, there is usually somewhere you can park up for a few hours for a reasonable price near to towns and villages even if you didnt want to spend the night there.
