A Sparkling Valencian New Year in Dubai
Lliria-based firework specialist Vicente Caballer lit up the sky in Dubai with 450,000 explosive devices, illuminating almost 100 kilometres of coastline.
The festival of light and sound took place at the exclusive The Palm Jumeirah and The World, both territories claimed from the sea by the oil-fuelled Emirate.
With this event, Vicente Caballer, President of the Valencian Association of Pyrotechnic manufacturers of the Comunitat Valenciana (Piroval), claimed his place in the Guinness Book of Records.
30 valencian technicians joined 250 staff of the American company ‘Fireworks by Grucci’, who had obtained the contract and then subcontracted Caballer

The company was founded in 1880 in Godella, and today’s President, Vicente Caballer is the grandson of the founder and father of the fourth generation of Caballers who now run the company.
