The Mossos d'Esquadra police force estimated that up to 3,000 people and 500 vehicles gathered at an unauthorized rave near Conesa over the weekend.

The police operation, which began last Friday night, involved multiple units including Traffic and Environmental divisions. Officers set up checkpoints on the TV-2244 road to prevent more people from joining the gathering in the Conca de Barberà region.
Authorities reported two fines for drug possession and three arrests for driving under the influence of narcotics. Despite the large scale of the event, police noted that the atmosphere remained peaceful until the site was cleared on Monday evening.
