The event aimed to create buzz around the DN7 Festival, set to be held in March at a stadium in Maspalomas, a tourist resort on Gran Canaria, El País reported. The dunes are considered a special natural reserve with "incalculable ecological value," according to the official tourism website for the island. Even so, Gran Canaria said it was fining the festival roughly $650 for breaking the rules, according to the outlet.

Youth unemployment rates that reached more than 55% in the years after the financial crisis fell to 31% in the third quarter - against an overall unemployment rate of 12.6%, according to the National Statistics Office, INE. Youth unemployment is a chronic problem in southern European countries. Greece, whose rates of youth unemployment are similar to Spain's, wants to reduce its youth unemployment rate to 18% by 2030 and is introducing subsidies for pension and health fund costs to reduce labour costs, as well as special training programmes. Previously, employers used temporary contracts as a safety net in times of crisis. Before the labour reform, the rate of temporary contracts, which in the last decade has been around 25% of all jobs, resulted in a high turnover of jobs, inflating the overall unemployment rate.
