Travelling with dogs in Spain is becoming more common every year… or at least it seems that way.
Many accommodations describe themselves as pet-friendly, but when you arrive you discover that:
- they only accept one small dog
- dogs cannot enter common areas
- or there are more rules for dogs than for humans.
Fortunately, there are still places where dogs are truly part of the experience, not just tolerated.
Here is a selection of rural houses and small hotels in Spain that are genuinely recommended if you travel with your dog.
