Visitor guide and where to stay

The fairground is the designated place for the celebration of this fair. To plan your stay, it is recommended to book accommodation in advance, as having a place in the municipality itself or in nearby towns facilitates attendance at evening events. Regarding arrival and internal travel during the days of highest turnout, it is advisable to opt for public transport as a more convenient alternative to private vehicles. If you choose to go by car, it is preferable to look for parking in areas outside the town centre to avoid complications arising from heavy traffic.
