Sources & methodology

ZazaMap is an editorial directory. We don't scrape competitor aggregators and we don't make things up. Every club entry has at least one public, verifiable source — usually the Basque government association registry, a Google Business listing, or a news/editorial mention. Here's exactly where the data comes from and how we verify it.

Primary sources

  • Basque government association registry (euskadi.eus) — the public registry for all legally registered associations in the Basque Country. Provides exact name, address, registration number (AS/B/...), founding date, and GPS coordinates. This is the gold standard.
  • Google Business public listings — for clubs that have chosen to publish on Google Maps. Provides verified addresses, hours, phone, public photos.
  • Public Instagram / Facebook profiles — bio info only. We do not access private accounts.
  • Independent editorial mentions — Salir.com, academic publications, newspaper coverage. Used for cross-reference and cultural context.

What we don't use

  • Competitor directory aggregators — barcelonaweedmap, shivamap, mejoreshumos, cannabisbcn, weedestiny, zazapass, El Capitán Brand, Weedmaps. Their content is theirs. We may use them to discover that a club exists, but we always re-verify name, address and details from primary sources before listing.
  • Private profiles — Instagram private, Facebook private, Telegram, WhatsApp. We never request membership or scrape gated content.
  • Hearsay or unverified tips— if we can't cite a public source, we don't list it.

Methodology

Each club has a completeness score (1–5) based on how many of these fields we could verify from public sources:

  • Official name
  • Street address
  • Opening hours
  • Membership process
  • Public contact channel (Instagram, phone, email, website)

And a simple data-completeness grade:

  • Verified— completeness 5, multiple sources cross-verify all fields, club is currently active. Shows the "Verified" chip on cards.
  • Listed — completeness 3–4, primary source verifies the existence and basic info, some fields missing
  • Registry-only — completeness 1–2, listed in the public registry but we lack a current address or proof of activity

This is a description of how much data we have, not a quality rating of the club itself. We don't rate or review clubs.

Coordinates

Map coordinates come from OpenStreetMap Nominatim and the Mapbox Geocoding API, both fed the public address from our primary sources. Registry-only clubs without a verifiable street address are not pinned on the mapuntil we can confirm one — they appear in the directory list with a "location pending" note, but we don't fabricate a coordinate.
