Asturies, greener than ever!

Xixón has an excellent geographical location – north coast of the peninsula, on the Cantabrian coast; known as the Green Coast capital, this incredible town provides mountainous landscapes, such as Cantabrian Mountains, and enjoyable beaches – Cantabrian Sea: if this natural experience meets one of the best current cannabis fairs, the result’s an explosive combination to satisfy the most demanding sybarites.
Organization
Generally, this event’s organized by cannabis association CISCA (Cannabis Interior Social Club Astur); in 2015, they organized Asturcannabis – small event for local growers: public feedback was so big that, in 2016, the event was renamed as The Weedkend – national cannabis fair.
The Weedkend brings the most experienced national growers, brands, associations, cannabis competitions, debates, talks on activism and legislation, good music and, undoubtedly, good weed.
