Vigo Hires Technical Inspectors to Certify All Christmas Attractions

City action follows a fatal ride accident that forced stricter checks at summer fiestas.

Overview

  • The Concello approved a contract for specialized technical assistance to review every Christmas installation.
  • The scope includes barracas, food stalls, food trucks, activity tents and the large Ferris wheel by the Alameda.
  • Technicians will certify each structure meets regulations before opening to the public, with the season due to start in November.
  • The city also authorized a sanitary ambulance service to station emergency vehicles at high-traffic points.
  • A turn-ticket system will manage visits to Papá Noel’s hut as the PP accuses the mayor of a double standard over summer bans and pending paperwork.
