However, a circuit of this magnitude will completely block Dénia on Saturday morning, inevitably collapsing the entrances to the city at noon. Grimalt, aware of the anger that can be generated in people, has asked for understanding and collaboration. "It's once every 33 years." And he has encouraged them to enjoy it from anywhere in the city instead of getting angry.

The collapse will be inevitable since the main arteries will be closed to traffic from noon. And not only that, but from Friday, September 1, parking will be prohibited on the streets of the circuit that have a single lane in each direction, such as Patricio Ferrándiz from Diana to Castell d'Olimbroi, Joan Fuster, Joan Chabás or Round Walls. That same day the vehicles will begin to be removed from those places, counting for the occasion with two cranes. From that day on, the port area, where the exit will be, will only have one lane in each direction.
