The venue advertised itself on social media as a space with a nightclub license, which would allow it to open until six in the morning. In other publications it appears as a pub or club, although a quick look on search engines, such as Google, offers the same hours. However, legally, being a bar is not the same as a nightclub. In any case, the premises were open to the maximum extent permitted by legislation, which is no small thing.
All of this had been placed under the watchful eye of the municipal authorities and the Arona Local Police, as official sources confirmed to this newspaper yesterday, who explained that “the agents had been monitoring and monitoring for several months, which had translated in the preparation of sanction reports for non-compliance with schedules” and other serious infractions, these already directly related to the safety of those who came to him.
The premises are located in a well-known leisure area of Playa de las Américas belonging to the municipality of Arona. Specifically, on the recently renovated Mexico Street. After the municipal intervention, in fact, a sign was posted explaining that “the nightclub will be closed for renovations until further notice,” which coincides with what happened last Friday.
That day, members of Group 4 of the Local Police proceeded to close the aforementioned nightclub. Furthermore, the cited sources assured that “corrective measures are not possible” and that “the establishment is incompatible with the activity it hosted,” which can translate into the license granted not coinciding with the nightclub activity that is announced by the own premises on their different social networks. All of this is the echo of the tragedy that recently occurred in Murcia in entertainment venues.
Just a few days ago it was learned that the City Council of this capital has so far closed a total of seven establishments closed after the fire that broke out in the Teatre and Fonda Milagros nightclubs, located in the Murcia industrial estate of Atalayas, in which thirteen people died. and 24 others were injured.
It must also be remembered that, in the case of Murcia, the nightclubs had a closure order from October 2022. However, events were held in both every weekend until the day of the fire.
In the case of the south of Tenerife, only this closure has emerged, at least until now.
However, the social networks of the closed establishment announced yesterday, three days after the closure order, the celebration of a massive event.
The Halloween Party Announcement
It is the commemoration of Halloween on the night of October 31, according to their Facebook, which talks about a “heart attack party”, booths set up for the party and various performances.
However, the official sources consulted yesterday insisted that the establishment has a current closure order and that the alleged infractions detected by the agents of the Arona Local Police cannot be remedied, in addition to the fact that the establishment’s license does not coincide with the activity. that develops in it, they insisted.
As with what happened in Murcia, it will have to be verified, as the days and weeks go by, that the closure order is effectively complied with, which would be a manifest contradiction with regard to the celebration of Halloween. date on which the outcome of the minutes drawn up and the closure of the premises is not known.
