This Mascleta was in the honor of the Virgen de los Desamparados, the most important religious figure of the city. We love this particular Mascleta because the protective fence is not installed, which gives you a direct view into the plaza, so you can see better what's going on and it also gives you a better sense what a Mascleta is all about.

Also, I'm sorry about the dust specs on my camera sensor :) I guess I should have cleaned my camera inside and out after our For91days in Ghana. It was a bit dusty there.
