IN the past two years, Spain has become one of the main marihuana growing areas in the EU, according to the Guardia Civil.
Plantations are now found in Andalucia, Murcia, Cataluña, Aragon and mainly the Valencia region.
There are plantations in almost every town in Alicante, mainly because of the climate, they say.
