Event director Adaya Rodríguez explained that the 75 000 euro subsidy from the ayuntamiento did not cover the rising costs of the sculptures. The ayuntamiento will still support 5 charities. These charities raised 10 500 euro last year for meals for people in need.
Organisers hope the attraction may return in the future.
