All the spaces being used for the city festival are accessible. Even so, the physical accessibility of some routes is conditioned by the characteristics of parks and public spaces, where you will find some entrances unsuitable owing to lawns or other elements.  Please note that large crowds at some events may affect the physical accessibility of these areas.

Several stages have reserved seats for people with disabilities and an accompanying person. It is advisable to arrive 30 minutes in advance. Remember to bring your disability certificate.
