The rules for visitors in Gran Canaria

• No shops: Cannabis cannot be bought legally in shops in Spain. Buying on the street is illegal, and the quality is unknown.
• Public places: Consuming or carrying cannabis on streets, on beaches, in parks or on terraces can lead to fines.
• Private clubs: Cannabis social clubs are private associations for adults. Each club sets its own membership and admission rules and may refuse a visitor.
• Age and ID: You must be 18 or older, and clubs usually check your passport or ID card.
• Travel: Never take cannabis to the airport, onto a plane or across a border.

How club access works in Gran Canaria

Clubs are private. They often ask visitors for an invitation or a referral from a member, a valid ID and an entry fee. The Zazapass Invite Pass covers only the entry fee at participating clubs, if the club accepts you. It does not make you a member and does not guarantee admission: each club decides. Zazapass lists participating clubs on the Gran Canaria page.

Getting to and around Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria Airport is on the east coast near Telde. Global buses connect the airport with Las Palmas, Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas. A rental car helps if you want to explore the interior of the island.

Gran Canaria in practice

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the capital, with the Playa de Las Canteras city beach and the Vegueta old town. Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas in the south are the main holiday area and are known for their dunes.

Club etiquette: how not to be that tourist

• Bring your passport or ID card. Clubs check age and identity.
• Consume only inside the club. Never on the street, on the beach or on a terrace.
• Do not take cannabis out of the club, and never take it onto a flight.
• Keep it quiet around the entrance. Clubs depend on good relations with their neighbours.
• Follow the house rules on phones, photos and behaviour. If you are unsure, ask the staff.
• Do not buy from street sellers. It is illegal, and you cannot know what you get.
