Closing pyromusical show. Pirotecnia Valecea

Since 1876, Pirotecnia Valecea has kept alive a unique tradition: the art of transforming fire into emotion. Generation after generation, this family of pyrotechnicians has lit up the skies and enhanced celebrations, bringing excitement, color, and joy to every corner. On this occasion, they will be responsible for closing Semana Grande 2026 with a pyromusical show.

Its origins date back to the mid-19th century, when the family began manufacturing gunpowder. In 1876, Leoncio José took a decisive step toward festive pyrotechnics, laying the foundations of a company that would continue to grow. By 1910, Valecea experienced significant expansion, culminating in 1914 with winning the World Pyrotechnics Championship in Turin, a milestone that cemented its international prestige. Throughout the 20th century, its evolution continued steadily. In 1948, the company took part in the renowned Count Ciano collection in San Sebastián. Later, Gerardo Martínez de Lecea, representing the third generation, expanded the company’s international presence, earning recognition in Monaco, Trieste, and Viareggio in 1964.

The spirit of innovation continued in 1980, when María Carmen Martínez de Lecea, together with José Luis Valdecantos, led the company’s modernization by designing a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant and relocating operations to Berantevilla (Álava). Today, the fifth generation, led by Aitor Valdecantos Martínez de Lecea, continues this legacy with passion and excellence. Alongside a talented team of experts, they combine tradition and innovation to create unique shows where fire, light, and sound become truly immersive experiences.
