Question 1

How early do we need to arrive?

Accepted Answer

Get there by 12:30pm for a decent spot, especially on weekends and March 15 to 19. The square fills fast and police close access once it hits capacity. Local neighborhood bands play before the shot starts.

Question 2

Where should we stand with young kids?

Accepted Answer

Not on the approach streets: Marqués de Sotelo and the streets into the square pack solid hours ahead and get fenced off, and it is hard to get out once the square closes. With young kids, stay toward the back edge of the crowd, where you hear and feel it but have room to leave.

Question 3

Should my kid wear ear protection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The noise is sustained for 6 to 8 minutes straight. Kids' earmuffs work fine. If your child is sensitive to loud sounds or under 5, stay toward the back of the crowd.

Question 4

Is there a spot for wheelchairs or reduced mobility?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a reserved area with access from 12:45pm to 1:45pm on Carrer de la Sang, at the corner with San Vicente. Show a disability card with one companion, space permitting. Wheelchair users are placed at the front.
