Be careful on the txupinazo

Not suitable for claustrophobia sufferers. Watch out for broken glass on the ground. Strong and solid footwear is a must

In spite of what we might think from the photos, The City Hall square is not so very large and the density of people squeezed in there for the txupinazo opening rocket inevitably creates moments of tension and strain.

While hardly anyone needs to be treated for these things, many do need to get treatment for cuts from the broken glass which is strewn on the ground from the many bottles of sparkling wine discarded on the ground.

This sensation of over-crowding and congestion does get the adrenalin going even for those foreigners who are not very aware of what is going on and it is an invitation to quench one’s emotions with plenty of cold drinks.
