Spain Contains Twin New Year Raves in Albacete and Tarragona as Weather Threatens Disruption

Officials urge people not to travel to the Cenajo site due to blocked vehicle access.

Overview

  • Security forces report a calm day at the Cenajo reservoir gathering, keep a perimeter cordon with about 300 Guardia Civil, and control the AB-408 as rain and snow are forecast.
  • Authorities estimate roughly 3,000 to 3,500 attendees at Cenajo, with some reports near 4,000, and note significant participation from other European countries.
  • In La Sénia, around 1,000 people remain in an abandoned industrial building as Mossos and local police run alcohol and drug checks and opt against a forced eviction.
  • Investigations into the organizers are planned, with police noting that such events are typically coordinated through social media.
  • Officials expect the Albacete gathering to wind down around January 6 or 7, though incoming cold, rain, and possible snow could shorten it.
