Southern Spain has arguably one of Europe’s best climates for growing cannabis, with an average of 320 days of sun annually and long, warm summers. These favourable environmental conditions allow growers to cultivate outside, leading to the prevalence of top-quality cannabis across Spain.

Spain has received significant interest lately due to its innovative approach to cannabis regulation, which involves the development of cannabis social clubs. Additionally, the government has legalised the use of cannabis-based products for specific medical conditions, allowing patients to receive treatment options that were previously considered unconventional.

The diverse climate zones provide ideal environmental conditions for cultivating cannabis. The Mediterranean climate, present across many regions in Spain, is characterised by mild winters and long, warm summers, encouraging healthy growth and robust cannabinoid production. The diverse terroir found throughout the different regions of Spain contains varying mineral concentrations and nutrient profiles that can significantly influence the flavours and aromas of cannabis. 

So let us check out seven of the best weed strains in Spain!
