Also worth knowing

Megaphones banned.
Fines up to €500, €501–1,500 and €1,501–3,000; working without authorisation is the most serious.
Canarias tourism law (Ley 7/1995, art. 19.1) bans megaphones and "incitación personal en la calle" in tourist places across the islands.

Our view

Licensing promoters is right. A €5,000 deposit per person and a rule confining them to the doorway turns the licence into a near-ban for any small business.
