According to City Councilman Juan Carlos Caballero, the main purpose of the restrictions is to create a large pedestrian area «so that families can enjoy Christmas and the Christmas atmosphere, the lights, the tree and the creche as they stroll through the streets». In addition, since many tourists arrive in Valencia before Christmas, he called for a preference to travel by public transportation rather than their own cars.
