Essential tips for the Monegros desert
- ✓Temperatures in the Monegros desert can exceed 40°C during the day and drop sharply overnight: bring layers, including warm clothing for the early hours.
- ✓Hydration is critical: drink water constantly, even if you do not feel thirsty. Extreme heat and non-stop dancing can lead to rapid dehydration.
- ✓SPF 50+ sunscreen is essential during daylight hours, along with a wide-brimmed hat or cap to protect your head.
- ✓Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes: the desert floor is dusty and the festival lasts more than 24 hours. Flip-flops are not recommended.
- ✓The festival is in open countryside with no infrastructure nearby; bring everything you need, as restocking outside the venue is very difficult.
- ✓If you plan to stay for the full marathon, plan rest periods and shaded areas to recover without leaving the site.
- ✓Food and drink services inside the venue are the only option; know the prices and make sure your payment wristband is topped up.
- ✓Check the latest news and restrictions on the official Monegros website before you leave, as conditions can change.
