Botafumeiros Strain Overview
Botafumeiros is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that originated in Spain, specifically from the Galicia region. The strain's name references the famous Botafumeiro incense burner in the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, reflecting its aromatic qualities and regional heritage. Developed by Spanish breeders, this strain has gained popularity in European cannabis circles for its uplifting effects and distinctive terpene profile.
The strain typically produces medium to tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are light to medium green in color, often with orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. The buds are known for their resinous quality and sticky texture when properly cultivated.

Notable features include its cerebral effects that many users describe as energizing and creative, making it popular for daytime use.
