Expat Community in Alicante

Your place in Alicante if you are new in town

Expats, students and tourists: at The Jack you join with your passport and we speak your language.

Moving to a new city is hard. Alicante is easy to love, but finding your place and your people takes time. Plenty of expats, Erasmus students and digital nomads have found theirs at The Jack.

We are a private members' club in Benalúa, about an 8-minute walk from the train station. Our team speaks English, Spanish and French, and our members come from all over Europe and beyond.

Made for people from abroad

To become a member you do not need an NIE or a Spanish address. You just need to be 18 or over and bring a valid photo ID, such as your passport or European ID card.

The Jack is a private, non-profit cannabis association. We explain the rules in your language from day one, so you know how a club works in Spain: members only, and everything stays inside the club.
