Another novelty is that the obligation to decorate the premises is abolished. However, the jury will value the ornamentation with an additional point in its final grade.

The establishments must have at least one skewer derived from the botillo, duly identified with its name, which will be the one that will enter the competition. They will charge it during the Conference at the fixed price of 50 cents (0.50 euros). In this edition, an alternative skewer is not required.

It must be remembered that the decision to charge this 50-cent supplement was agreed upon three years ago with the intention of unifying criteria that would allow for a fixed price and not a variable one at the discretion of each establishment.
