An illegal rave held in Conesa, within the Conca de Barberà region, concluded this Monday evening after attracting approximately 3,000 people and 500 vehicles over the weekend.

The Mossos d'Esquadra police operation ensured the event ended without riots. The gathering took place on remote land near the TV-2244 road, where officers had been monitoring the area since last Friday to prevent more people from joining.
Police reported six individuals during the event. Two were cited for drug possession, while three others faced charges for driving under the influence of narcotics, leading to the impounding of their vehicles. A sixth person was fined by the Catalan Transit Service.
The police operation was officially closed around 8:00 PM on Monday, following the removal of checkpoints earlier in the day as the crowd dispersed and the risk of the party continuing was ruled out.
