The BICAPAWN Xacobeo Chess Festival will be held at the Gaiás Center Museum, flag-ship of the Cidade da Cultura. The Cidade da Cultura is a unique and iconic modern building that marks the entrance to Santiago de Compostela at the last stage of the Saint James’ Way.
Called to be an architectural benchmark for the 21st century, the Gaiás Center Museum is one of the most unique buildings and one with the most possibilities of use in the Cidade da Cultura, which aspires to become the benchmark exhibition center in Galicia.
The spectacular nature of its facade, the almost 43 meters high and its more than 16,000 square meters of surface allow the Gaiás Center Museum to display a range of training and outreach activities that make it an active center in continuous renewal.

PRIZES
Main prizes for BICAPAWN Xacobeo Chess Festival
Bicapawn has prepared a total net prize fund of 70,000€ (prizes are subject to the Spanish regulations on awarding athletes), distributed between the individual tournament prizes and the Grand Prix prices.
Bicapawn Xacobeo Chess Festival celebrates 2022 as the Year of The Woman in Chess, as endorsed by FIDE.

We want to encourage women to participate in professional chess and to compete for prizes.
We also want to promote chess for kids, as chess has many benefits at a young age: analytical thinking, strategy, learning abilities and more.
For both of these reasons we have prepared special prizes. The total net prize fund of 70,000€ is distributed in 52,500€ for Tournament prizes and 17,500 for the Grand Prix, including the special prizes that we have designed for you

VISA and Health Cautions
For Visas :
For delegations coming from countries requiring entry visas into Spain, these can be obtained from Spanish Embassies or Consulate Offices in your respective countries. We will avail an official invitation to delegations that need a copy for visa processing, and the organizers will notify the reason for the trip to the administrative bodies of the countries of residence to facilitate obtaining the visa.
Health Cautions For COVID-19
1. Passengers coming from countries requiring entry visas into Spain, must present a DIGITAL COVID CERTIFICATE OR EU EQUIVALENT on vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative certificate of an active infection diagnostic test or a certificate of recovery after passing the disease.
2. Passengers mentioned in the previous point must fill in the SPTH Health Control Form manually entering the details of their vaccination, recovery or diagnostic test certificate. The system will send you a QR code that you will have to present both prior boarding, and upon your arrival in Spain. In the health control, you may be required to present this document certifying vaccination, diagnostic test or recovery.
3. Children under 12 years of age and passengers in international transit do not have to present a certificate or the SpTH QR.
4. All passengers will be subject upon arrival to a primary inspection consisting in temperature control, visual inspection and documentary control. Those suspected of suffering from COVID-19 will undergo a secondary inspection where a more exhaustive assessment will be carried out. If it is confirmed that the passenger suffers from a pathology with a risk to public health, if it is a close contact of COVID-19 or if a positive result is obtained after carrying out a PDIA for SARS-CoV-2 on arrival, the protocols established in coordination with the health authorities of the autonomous communities will be activated. For this, the health authority may request the collaboration of other administrative bodies, public officials or other institutions.
