The large shipment was discovered on Wednesday in a refrigerated banana container in the southern port of Algeciras.
The boxes were marked with 30 logos that correlated with different European criminal rings that were expected to get the coveted drug.
Police did not name any of the organizations.
"This operation was an unprecedented blow to one of the world’s most important criminal organizations in cocaine distribution, targeting major criminal networks in Europe," police said in a statement.
