The rules for visitors in Málaga

• 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 Málaga

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 Málaga page.

Getting to and around Málaga

Málaga Airport is a few kilometres from the city and connected by Cercanías trains and buses. The María Zambrano station has high-speed trains from Madrid. Inside the city, most sights are within walking distance, and Cercanías trains run along the coast to Torremolinos and Fuengirola.

Málaga in practice

The historic centre with the cathedral and the Alcazaba is compact and walkable. Soho and the beach of La Malagueta are close by, and Torremolinos is a short Cercanías ride away.

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.
