The Ceba Negra Festival concluded its fifth edition this Sunday in Figueres with a total of 1,000 attendees, establishing itself as a key true crime event in Catalonia.

From March 13 to 15, the La Cate Auditorium hosted a program that defied adverse weather conditions. The festival brought together experts from various fields to analyze real cases and noir phenomena, from historical disappearances to 'quinqui' culture.
A major highlight was the presentation of the Fulla Negra award to former Guardia Civil officer Enrique Gómez. The recognition followed a discussion with Dani el Rojo, where they shared their experiences from opposite sides of the law.
The lineup featured prominent figures such as journalist Sebastià d'Arbó and forensic expert Narcís Bardalet. Live podcasts also covered famous cases like Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, maintaining high public interest throughout the weekend.
