Colitas may refer to the customary pigtail worn by matadores in the past. The word means 'little tail' in Spanish. It was a mark of their profession. Few have them today and, if they do, they are usually clip ons and not real, only worn during a bullfight.

What does colitas mean in the song Hotel California?
I`m sorry i`m not an English speaker native, as you may know now the word colitas is an spanish word and it means a small tail. since the marijuana or also known in Mexico as amapola has at the end of the plant a thing that looks like cotton ball or like a sheep`s tail. sheep=borrego; tail=cola=colita. so, the people who uses this kind of drug says "this is pure sheep`s tail", or in spanish "es pura colita de borrego" or "puras colitas". in the song hotel California says on a dark dessert highway (in baja California Mexico there is dessert and no lights on the higways), cool wind in my head (means he could be drivin a car with no roof) warm smell of colitas ( he was smoking marijuana) raisin up to the air ( the smoke of a cigarette goes up) ............. my head grow heavy and my sight grow dimm ( this is an effect of using maijuana)
What does The warm smell of Colitas refer to in the eagles song Hotel California?
A colita is the rear portion of a marijuana cigarette that is too hot and short to smoke. Usually, these are put in a pipe and smoked in batches. This is certainly what the eagles meant in their song, not some flower, or marijuana bud.

Lyrics to hotel California?
"Hotel California"On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hairWarm smell of colitas, rising up through the airUp ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering lightMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dimI had to stop for the nightThere she stood in the doorway;I heard the mission bellAnd I was thinking to myself,'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the wayThere were voices down the corridor,I thought I heard them say...Welcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely place (Such a lovely place)Such a lovely facePlenty of room at the Hotel CaliforniaAny time of year (Any time of year)You can find it hereHer mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bendsShe got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friendsHow they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.Some dance to remember, some dance to forgetSo I called up the Captain,'Please bring me my wine'He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'And still those voices are calling from far away,Wake you up in the middle of the nightJust to hear them say...Welcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely place (Such a lovely place)Such a lovely faceThey livin' it up at the Hotel CaliforniaWhat a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)Bring your alibisMirrors on the ceiling,The pink champagne on iceAnd she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'And in the master's chambers,They gathered for the feastThey stab it with their steely knives,But they just can't kill the beastLast thing I remember, I wasRunning for the doorI had to find the passage backTo the place I was before'Relax,' said the night man,'We are programmed to receive.You can check-out any time you like,But you can never leave!'
