A large haul of hashish was located at El Pinet beach in Elche following an anti-drug operation carried out by the Guardia Civil and local police.
Nearly five tonnes of the drug have been seized at two sites in the municipality and seven arrests made.
A Guardia Civil spokesman explained that the investigation had started earlier this month when local police officers were carrying out a night-time patrol around the village of Valverde.
