Salou. Costa Dorada. 14 August 2018. The most awaited moment of the festivities of Salou, the Nits Daurades, will arrive on August 15 with the procession in honor of the Virgin and a monumental fireworks castle, hand in hand with Pirotécnia Mediterráneo.

Throughout the shot will combine 3 heights and each phase will be finished with colorful and hermetic closures. During 23 minutes, the intensity of the fire will increase to end with a bombardment of long and powerful thunder in the style of Valencia.
