CHUPINAZO! June 16
Posted: Thu May 30, 2019 8:37 am
Be prepared to get wet and assemble in the town centre where the great water pistol fight will take place.
They place great tubs of water & throw water pistols into the crowd, whilst also being quite liberal with a hose.
Free hats are also distributed at the door of the museum and there's free beer too at a beer tent.
Various councillors go onto the balcony of the museum and one will light the chupinazo - the celebration rocket - & there'll be confetti etc.
Then the mayor throws out giant beach balls too for folk to throw round.
Then at 2 pm attention is drawn to the Malecon del Soto for the mazcleta - probably best seen from the other side of the river - which is the loud day-time 'firework' display.
