Unlike the Netherlands, where cannabis is technically illegal but tolerated in coffee shops, Spain has adopted a different approach. Cannabis consumption in private spaces is not criminalized, and this loophole has given rise to the cannabis social club system.

“The club model in Spain is brilliant,” says Tom Walker, a cannabis tourist from the UK. “You get to enjoy high-quality cannabis in a relaxed setting without the overwhelming commercial feel of Amsterdam’s coffee shops.”

Affordable Prices and High-Quality Strains

Another major factor driving Spain’s cannabis tourism boom is the affordability of cannabis. Compared to other European countries, cannabis prices in Spain are significantly lower, while the quality remains top-tier.

On average, cannabis prices range from:

• €4-6 per gram for lower-quality strains.

• €7-10 per gram for mid-range cannabis.

• €12-20 per gram for top-shelf, high-potency strains.

This price-quality balance has made Spain a hotspot for budget-conscious cannabis users looking for an authentic experience.
