My visit to Sweet Oil Cannabis Club was, as the Spanish like to say, sin mas, which roughly translates to “it is what it is.”
Sweet Oil is small, crowded and bright, with diner-style booths surrounding the smoking area. There are vending machines for snacks and drinks. When I visited on a midweek afternoon, the frenetic techno music playing gave the place a buzz akin to an angry wasps’ nest. The lackluster vibe of the joint, more like a dispensary than a social club, made it easy to not want to hang out.
Sweet Oil doesn’t have a hybrid menu. As a fan of hybrids, I was confused that they didn’t get their proper due at this place. The indica and sativa lists were basic and commercial. Moon rocks were on the menu, but on inspection it turned out they were really a honeycomb BHO.
Sweet Oil also isn’t exactly tourist-friendly. When I asked the budtender why they didn’t have hybrids, she simply replied “yes” and smirked. Since she obviously wasn’t an English speaker, I asked again in proper Castilian Spanish. The first thing she let me know was that I should speak Spanish, “because we are in Spain after all.” Then she let me know that her boss doesn’t believe in hybrids.
When I asked her for a recommendation, she pointed to the most expensive weed on the menu. It said “Cali,” and cost 35€ for a gram. The herb was Concord-grape purple, but the buds were loose and leafy, obviously outdoor. I opted instead for some decent dry sift hash and a few of the porous “moon rocks,” and got out of there.

Just find this review and make me feel shame and sad at same time.
I wish second chance and someone of your team coming back here and have another experience, totally diferent and pleasant.
Yes the club are not big.
But is clean and cosy now since we buy new sofas.
About the music techno loud volume and the bad service without English I can tell you that’s was truth and I know who was and we don’t have this person here anymore. The music is usually RnB, reggae, hiphop and electronic and all the stuff are English speaker.
In the menu we had always hybrids they was in the menu indica or sativa depend the %, but we agree with you and since weeks hybrid are include in they own menu. I don’t believe in hybrids? That’s non Sense…
About the moonrocks is the name of the crumble (extract) we got if you search in internet you find it.. of course I know what you expected, moon rocks with weed and extract this we don’t have.
About the weed we have top strains the quality is high, I think that person you got dident know how to make you happy, for lazy, or it was that day sometimes your stock finish but next day is full again…
I wish you can send someone here ask for the manager and I will care of you with lot of love.
Thanks for this review anyway it was honest.
It was a wrong day everyone can have one.
