The city of Rubí celebrated the end of its Carnival season this week with the traditional burial of the sardine, amidst the launch of new local sports organizations.

Despite unpredictable weather, hundreds gathered at the Escardívol area for the final bonfire. The group Camina, Corre i Balla won the main parade prize with a creative tribute to The Lion King, highlighting the city's vibrant cultural life.
A new organization, Motor Club Rubí, has been officially introduced to promote motorsports and revive historic competitions. Conversely, music fans were disappointed by the cancellation of the Chandal Festival, which was scheduled for March 7th.
On the security front, Mossos d'Esquadra officers arrested a 47-year-old man for drug trafficking in Joan Maragall street. Authorities seized over 100 grams of cocaine and 24,000 euros during the raid, following reports of illegal sales from a residential building.
