The annual report prepared by the Government, involving several ministries, highlights that the province of Cádiz remains a critical strategic point for criminal organizations. The document details how these networks have evolved, employing more violent tactics and military-grade weaponry to avoid the interception of hashish and cocaine shipments.

Police pressure exerted on the coast of Cádiz and the mouth of the Guadalquivir river has caused illicit activities to shift toward areas such as Huelva and the Guadiana river. According to the analysis, criminal organizations are diversifying their methods, even using drones and aircraft to transport illicit substances between Morocco and the Spanish coast.

The report also highlights the emergence of a new Atlantic route connecting the Moroccan coast with West African countries, from where drugs are transported overland through the Sahel. This strategy aims to minimize the economic losses of criminal groups in the face of constant surveillance in the waters of the Strait.
