Malecon del soto means 'South Bank' I believe in an ancient form of Valenciana.
It is the little park with stage & children's slides etc by the bridge & water wheel.

Can't really say...
There will be gunfiring from 8pm first, then the battle itself is due to start at 9pm - so probably 9.30pm - for around half hour, then more battling later (but probably without guns then).
But no guarantees there won't be the odd one after 10ish.
