Unlike other Andalusian fairs, the Córdoba Fair, also known as the Feria de Nuestra Señora de la Salud, is distinguished by guaranteeing free access to all its stalls. This rule, explicitly stated in the event's regulatory bases, emphasizes that the premises must remain open to the general public on all official days of the fair.
The only exceptions to this general rule are stalls that obtain authorization for closures due to "institutional and social action commitments." These closures, which must be duly justified, cannot exceed eight consecutive hours per day, although up to two institutional closures of up to 12 hours are permitted. These closures are becoming increasingly common among traditional stalls.
The Department of Fairs and Festivities of the City Council of Córdoba is responsible for evaluating and approving or denying the closure requests submitted by the entities managing the stalls. Once permission is granted, it must be displayed visibly at the stall's entrance. Failure to display this authorization obliges the stall to keep its doors open.
Regarding access control, the personnel in charge, during free entry hours, may carry out a "preventive and never intimidating control." This personnel, who must belong to companies authorized by the Ministry of the Interior, will operate "from the inside," without carrying weapons. Special attention will be paid to gender-based violence situations, activating established protocols.
