No specific reason was given, but the news came in front of a backdrop of increasing tension with island residents, with political group Podemos launching a campaign last year (February 2022) to ban beach parties due to loud and far reaching noise pollution.
In an Instagram post announcing the news at the time, the club said: “Dear and beloved followers, fans, haters and lovers, we don’t want to sadden you with this news, even if yes, it’s goodbye.
“All of you who have had fun with us, we want you to remember it, that all those great moments lived can come to you and come to greet us, but DANCING,” it continued. “Because as goodbye, we want a big party. It’s the end of many stages and we want to celebrate it in style, just like in the old days, without filters.
