Finally The Civil Guard failed to achieve its objective of stopping the great rave called in the province of Albacete. The nearly 1,000 vehicles and caravans gathered near the Cenajo de Hellín reservoir managed to deploy in the afternoon of this Wednesday, December 31 start the illegal macro party.
The tranquility of this corner of the province of Albacete was altered on the night of Tuesday, December 30, with the arrival of the first visitors. Their first intentions were to settle near the marsh, where They were disbanded in first instance by the Civil Guard around 11 p.m.
From there they began to move towards Cordovilla, a neighborhood of Tobarra, with the same result and were forced to expose their intentions around 3:00 a.m. From there they headed again towards Cenajo, where they finally managed to set up camp.
An operation which, according to the Unified Association of the Civil Guard (AUGC), ended with a dozen officers injured and no arrests.
This group publicly denounced the fact that the agents were sent without adequate riot geartheir safety was therefore threatened.
“The operation could have been carried out well but those responsible chose, once again, to put the agents in danger and to leave everything to improvisation. A disaster of a device organized late and poorly as always,” they denounced.
The AUGC attributed this error to a lack of planning on the part of the Government Delegation of Castile-La Mancha.
Camp set up
Finally, the young people who arrived in Albacete, who were summoned by social networks and instant messaging groupsachieved their objective on the afternoon of December 31, by launching the illegal macro-game.
In total, the camp is estimated to consist of around 1,000 vehicles and caravans coming not only from different regions of Spain, but also from European countries such as France and Denmark.
On the way, the caravan provoked traffic problems passing through Férez -municipality closest to the reservoir- when the road connecting this town to Socovos collapsed.
For his part, In a message published on social networks this Wednesday evening, the mayor of Férez, Francisco Javier Jaime Espinosa, wanted to send a message of tranquility to the neighbors and thanked the work of the state security forces and organs
Neighborhood mobilization
For his part, the Protector of Animals and Plants of the Sierras de Segura and Alcaraz, APAP Tierra, in collaboration with the Association of Social Work Professionals Tejiendo Redes TS, launched a prevention and information protocol with informative material aimed at both the local population and the participants.
“Enjoy the music and the stars while respecting this territory and its memory”, collects the central message of the material distributed by these groups.
The brochures, written in Spanish, French and Englishare distributed near the affected area and contain key information about the territory, security warnings, emergency telephone numbers and an express appeal not to block the fundamental access roads to the region.
One of the clearest messages in the protocol is the express request to maintain the free use of the N-330 motorway (Hellín-Puente de Híjar), considered vital axis for access to Hellín Hospital and emergency health services for municipalities like Férez, Socovos, Letur or Elche de la Sierra.
The material reminds us that these are very isolated areas, with an aging population that must guarantee health mobility at all times, especially on a day like New Year’s Eve.
Protected environment
The brochures also include clear warnings on Cenajo reservoirremembering that it is not a swimming area, that it is a fishing area and that underwater there are the ruins of the old village of La Alcantarilla de Jover, in addition to numerous fish hooks, which makes swimming a dangerous practice.
We also emphasize the environmental value of the territoryintegrated into the Segura basin, with high ecological value and protected species, expressly requesting that no discharge be made, that waste be collected and that extreme care be taken with the fire.
“This territory has given a lot and is home to a unique natural heritage which must be respected”, underline the groups.
Far from a confrontational tone, the protocol combines warnings with a responsible welcome message, offering information on services, accommodation, shops and bars in the town, as well as emergency telephone numbers and town halls in the area.
The material ends with a wish for a Happy New Year 2026, calling for mutual respect between visitors and neighbors and responsible coexistence in a fragile rural environment.
In a context marked by the lack of clear official information, the the disorientation of neighborhoods and the tension generated by traffic cuts and the deployment of the policethis initiative stands out as a citizen response born from the territory itself, trying to minimize risks, protect the local population and preserve the natural environment in the face of an unexpected situation.
This is not the first time that Castilla-La Mancha has celebrated these characteristics. Exactly a year ago,to call “Big fucking party 2025” Built on land owned by Ciudad Real Airport It brought together more than 1,500 people for six days of uninterrupted celebration.
During these days, which passed between New Year’s Eve and Epiphany, the participants responded to the call of the organizers, who They had used instant communication channels such as Telegram to offer party details and bypass security measures.
The other side of the pleasure came after he left with the accumulation of more than 50 tons of wastelamented the company that owns Ciudad Real airport.
