Observations
We request the public assistant that please dont wait at the entry while the expositor are mounting the stands. Its just to avoid
people agglomerations.
Warning to the expositors: Since last year, expositors could place their car on that little park
placed inside the cotxeres de sants enclosure, but this year expositors must be carefull with this, because
lately, the police has been sending fines to all the cars placed there. So, that place must be used only as
a zone of load and unload of the stands material if you want to avoid any possibility of receive a fine.
