Spain is considered one of the leaders in the world’s tourism industry. Hundreds of thousands of people flock to this country for holidays. Someone spends time in beach resorts, someone prefers sightseeing, and some successfully combine both.
Whatever region of the country you go to, everywhere you can find something unique, striking to the core. In La Mancha one can still see windmills similar to those with which Cervantes’ Don Quixote fought. Barcelona impresses with the unusual Sagrada Familia Cathedral. Aragon surprises with an abundance of knightly castles, the battlements and roofs of which loom majestically against the sky. There are also medieval fortresses, and severe monasteries, and magnificent palaces in the Baroque style. The plains of Andalusia attract some, the snow-covered peaks of the Sierra Nevada attract others. Lovers of entertainment and nightlife choose Ibiza, Barcelona, Madrid or the trendy resorts of the coast.
Also, it is worth saying that Spain is attractive in terms of the existence of cannabis clubs. They are also called coffee shops. But, as you already understood from the name, these are not quite the coffee houses that we are used to seeing. The fact is that in coffee shops, you can buy and even taste real marijuana or cannabis. This is not at all prohibited by the laws of Spain, and therefore, these clubs are completely legal. Therefore, most of the tourists who come to Spain are aimed specifically at visiting cannabis clubs. You can read the instructions on the site cannabisbcn.com about how to find and how to enter coffee shops that are located in Barcelona.
