Laureano Oubiña narco‑tour barred

Overview

Former hashish trafficker and influencer Laureano Oubiña announced a one‑day boat tour called the “Ruta del Narcotráfico” on Galicia’s Rías Baixas, scheduled for 29 August 2026. The package, priced €25 for children to €189 for adults, promised a narrated visit to historic smuggling sites, a lunch on Ons Island and a private dinner with Oubiña.

Within days, the Xunta de Galicia opened a sanctioning file, arguing that the tour was being sold as a “tourist package” without a legally authorised travel agency, as required by the 2011 Galician Tourism Law. The regional government ordered the venture’s closure pending further administrative action.

On 7 August 2026, the Xunta’s tourism inspection confirmed the sanction file and formally prohibited the excursion. The inspection noted that the marketing company, Pejurito S.L.U., is not an authorised travel agency, rendering the tour illegal under the same law. The ban effectively halted the planned launch.
