The rules for visitors in Valencia

• 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 Valencia

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 Valencia page.

Valencia in practice

The old town (Ciutat Vella) with the El Carmen quarter is walkable, and Ruzafa is a lively district. The beach at Malvarrosa and Cabanyal can be reached by tram or bike.

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.
