Monkeys, when the desert is the big party: "This is paradise"

The article describes the Monegros Desert Festival, held in the arid region between Zaragoza and Huesca in Spain’s Ebro Valley. The event has evolved from a small gathering of around 100 people in 1993 into one of Europe’s largest techno festivals, attracting up to 60,000 attendees over 22 hours. The festival spans 120,000 square meters and features 120 DJs across 10 stages playing various electronic music genres. It is described as a communal experience where music becomes the central religion, with participants dancing under extreme heat and a nearly constant wind. The piece references the film *S�rat* by Oliver Laxe, which was partially shot in a similar desert setting.
