The different participating groups will be able to access it through three 23-meter ramps and in this edition there will also be an extension of the rotating 14.5 meter towards the public. Furthermore, due to the span of the support, on both sides of the stage, the structure will fly between 6 and 4 meters, leaving the passage free without obstacles for free transit.
