Spain - Nacho Acha-Orbea from Entertainment Equipment Supplies based in San Sebastian has recently delivered an outdoor roof system and two stages to Kulteperalia based in Madrid. The system is being used in the city's bull ring in Madrid to allow the venue to become a multipurpose facility.

The roof system is 19 by 16m, with PA wings both sides measuring 9 by 7m. The roof is flown at 14m trim on 15m high towers. The main roof grid is designed to support 12 tonnes and each PA wing 7 tonnes. The Arena Deck stage is variable in height from 1.55 to 2m and the stage is rated at 8kN/m2. The stage area is also equipped with side and back walls made from the same silver outside and black inside PVC polyester fabric as the roof cover.

Kultuperalia intends to stage a variety of events from flamenco to opera. In addition to this equipment, Total Solutions Group has been contracted to provide an Audience stage covering 310sq.m with an adjustment range of 0.65 to 1.1m including four sets of variable height access stairs and handrails.
