Some seven thousand people have gathered since last night at a rave party taking place in the municipality of Sarral in Tarragona, prompting the Mossos to arrest two people for assaulting an agent as they attempted to skip a police checkpoint. The police also confiscated various material intended for the party, especially music equipment.
The festival takes place around the hermitage of Sants Metges in Sarral, an area where a multitude of cars and caravans are parked. Local sources have reported that the latest estimate of participants in the party is around 7,000 people, an avalanche before which the city council is erecting New Jersey-style barriers at the city’s entrances to prevent the arrival of new participants.
For their part, the Mossos have reported that agents from the ARRO unit and the Traffic Service have been maintaining access controls to the party on various roads since Friday night, particularly on the AP-2 highway, where breathalyser tests are also being carried out. The Catalan police will maintain access control to the party originally planned for the whole weekend.
