It all started at the bull fighting arena - about 1pm. I was early so I made some photos - here, the great giveaway
Across the street - the Amstel giveaway
Plaza of the Bulls - sign
I had some time so I decided to try to panning shots - about 1/4 sec exposure and the results are better than last try -but not great yet

While I was shooting stills, Rafa was making our video of the entire program - wow
From Pirotecnia Europla - a view mostly from the ground - you can see the sequence of the detonations.
Here is a version captured by the tevelosion folks - where they are able to show at a different ground level perspective of the individual explosives and what happens.
