During the first week of the San Juan Festival in Alicante, fireworks are set off every day at 2PM in a public square. The sun is bright at that time of day so it's not about the lights--it's about the thunderous noise, the strength of sound. They are called the Mascleta fireworks, which translates to masculine fireworks. (During the second week, fireworks set off at night on the beach are all about the lights, and are called the feminine fireworks.)
We were about one block away from the fireworks. Every day is a different show and there is a competition on which show is the best. I could feel the sound in my chest--it was awesome.
