The arena has been awarded the National Art Monument category, completely handmade with the largest arena: 60 meters in diameter and six meters in height, it is assembled by more than 100 people and can accommodate about seven thousand spectators.
The ephemeral architectural work includes 70 families, and uses about two thousand petits, with sticks and ropes making up its entire structure.
Construction begins in December and ends on February 3 to be delivered two days later and Masses will be held in honor of San Felipe de Jesús, the patron saint of festivities.
