The operation began when police intercepted the sale of 25 kilos of heroin in a deal involving four men since charged with drug trafficking.
Another 43 kilos was found at the homes of suspects during a search where three hand guns were also confiscated.
The single seizure surpasses the 253 kilograms discovered by Spanish police in 2016.
