The Javierada is a multitudinous event that gathers a large number of people and vehicles in a small town with limited access. Therefore, it is normal that there will be traffic cuts and delays that may affect the estimated departure times of the buses and even the parking of the buses themselves. If the weather conditions are adverse, these incidents may increase. For these reasons, and also for security and other reasons, the organization of the Javierada UNAV is not manager for route changes, delays and other incidents, and those registered in the Javierada UNAV understand and accept these circumstances, which are beyond the control of the organization of the Javierada UNAV itself,
