Cannabis plants that are located somewhere visible from the street/public place (ie. from balconies) are considered a serious administrative offense, which leads to a fine from 601 to 30.000€.[179][180] About 500 private "cannabis clubs" exist in Spain, 200 of them in Barcelona, and Spain is spoken of as the "new Amsterdam," a destination for marijuana tourists.[181] All actions related to cannabis apart from sale or trade aren't considered criminal offenses,[182] and normally are misdemeanors punishable by a fine.[183]
