• A horizontal navigation bar in the upper part of the pages with the links to the principal menu of the website.
• A vertical navigation menu, located on the right margin to access the secondary sections of each menu, print and enlarge/reduce the size of the text.
• Another horizontal navigation bar at the lower part of the pages, to access the sections on-line resources, web maps, legal notice, privacy policy, accessibility and contact.
• A central area showing the contents of the web site itself.
