I’m Jorge Cervantes, and I have some insider information to help you make the most of your time in Barcelona during Spannabis.
Barcelona is a beautiful city that never sleeps, and it’s also a cannabis lover’s paradise!
Are you planning to attend Spannabis in Barcelona? As a cannabis enthusiast, you’re in for a treat! Barcelona is not only a beautiful city that never sleeps but also a cannabis lover’s paradise.
What is Spannabis?
Spannabis is one of the largest cannabis trade shows in Europe: loaded with good vibes, feminized and auto-flowering seeds at the best prices. In this article, we’ll provide you with all the information you need about the event, including tips on what to do in Barcelona when you are away from the show.
Where is Spannabis Barcelona?
The event will be held at Fira de Cornellá, Barcelona, just like last year. The address is Carrer Tirso de Molina, 34, 08940, in the Cornellà de Llobregat neighborhood of Barcelona.
The event has a few rules that you should be aware of, including:
- No one under 18 years old is allowed.
- Smoking is not allowed inside the venue.
- Pets are not allowed inside the venue.
To help you make the most of your trip, here are some insider tips and things to see and do:
Parc Güell A must-see attraction for admiring Antoni Gaudí’s art, but make sure to buy your tickets in advance as daily entry is limited. Fun fact: The creator, Antoni Gaudí, was rumored to have eaten a lot of psilocybin mushrooms!
Sagrada Familia Cathedral: Designed by Gaudí, this stunning cathedral is a must-visit attraction. Take the purple metro line (L2) towards Badalona, Pompeu Fabra and get off at Sagrada Familia.
Barcelona City Tour: Explore the city and its many sights by hopping on and off the bus anytime. But remember, no toking on the bus! Start your tour at Plaça Catalunya in the heart of downtown.
Barceloneta Beach: Relax and soak up the sun at this beautiful beach while enjoying a drink and a meal with a sea view.
Cannabis Associations: Barcelona is known for its cannabis associations, where members can safely consume cannabis in a regulated environment.

Live Music Venues: Barcelona is famous for its music scene, and you can catch live music performances at venues like Razzmatazz, Apolo, and Sidecar.
Thai massage center: after a long day at the Spannabis fair in Barcelona, nothing beats a good massage to relax and unwind! Let’s face it: puffing and talking nonstop is entertaining, but it can be taxing on your body, especially if you have been traveling long distance to get to the event. That’s where “Thai Chada” massage center comes in – the ultimate destination for aches and pains from your journey.
This hidden gem, located on Carrer de les Semoleres, 9 and easily accessible via the Metro L4 Yellow line (stop at Jaume 1), offers traditional Thai massages that will leave you feeling like a new person.
What’s more, the best part? You can get the royal treatment if you tell the manager Takky that Jorge Cervantes sent you!

Can Ros is a seafood restaurant in the Barceloneta neighborhood. In a modern and stylish setting, dine on authentic Spanish-Catalan cuisine.

Restaurante Andino Peruano If you like seafood at a great price, this is one of my favorites and close to Sagrada Familia.
Restaurante Caliu de Gracia is a Little off the beaten path, (take a taxi). The quality of food and service are outstanding. One of my favorites.
Finally, get a “T10” metro pass to save on transportation costs. You can get 10 rides on the metro or bus for about $/€1.
