Can I recommend the Jesus festival - it last all week with a fairground & live music, culminating in a fabulous firework display. The atmosphere is excellent & totally Spanish/Ibizenco - it's really nice to see all ages enjoying the experience. The fireworks normally take place on the last Saturday of the festival, approx 9th Sept.

funny that you mentioned the walls..........
i heard on the radio this morning that the ayuntamiento has sent a letter to the consell insular to tell them that they have to find a new location for the setting of the fireworks. according to them, they can no longer do it in the baluarte de santa lucia because its damaging the structure of the walls (for more info check tomorrow's newspapers). as you might remember, some years ago they did it from the dique de botafoch but it wasnt as spectacular

how did they get to that conclusion ???
well, sounds ridiculus to me, and I'm afraid the real reason behind this are the costs for the clean up !
Although they never done much and the debris was around for a week or so, it sure is less expensive to shoot all the stuff into the sea, no?
I remember that everybody was disappointed about the Botafoc display. It just doesn't get under your skin from that far away...these huge,brilliant,golden stars grabbing for you...an Asterics-like feeling that "heaven is falling on your head"
let's all hope for the best!
cheers

Fireworks in the fire line.............
and another one
several questions(and a lot of steam) come up reading the article...would be to complex to discuss it here I'm afraid.
..."en los ultimos a~nos" or ..."desde tiempo inmemorable" - definivly the latter y el olor de la p`olvora tambien forma parte de la liturgia! and the incredible sound that goes with it too !
For those of you that have never seen this great happening: just imagine a club with the soundvolume cut to half
So, the mayor confesses to the walls beeing in bad shape? Interesting to hear about that on this occasion. Hope that the cannons, which are up there "desde los ultimos a~nos" (after someone had visited Disneylandia obviously- but they are nice for the kids
) are safe and that their installation didn't and their weight doesn't cause any or more damage to the teraplen. (very selfish wish as I have my house close by 
)
Let's see when these "problemas estructurales serios" are beeing attacked and solved !!!!!!!! (Don't worry, the EU is paying for it!)
PEOPLE - you get the autopista that you don't want
you don't get the fireworks from the walls that you want
and, by the way, we have taken away the great noche vieja celebration (which was also held desde tiempo inmemorable) on Vara de Rey and have given you therefore that ugly, huge coral to celebrate in.
...there's still hope - I hope!
