Pets have earned their place as one more member within families, although there are those who take this further than having animals in their home and live it as a lifestyle in itself. Which implies organizing plans for them and organizing everything so that they are participants in the trips of their owners. This includes finding the most suitable means of transport for furry companions, searching for pet-friendly hotels and, of course, choosing destinations that will open their doors to them.
Fortunately, it is becoming easier to find cities that offer facilities to travelers who come to them with their pets. However, it is still not as widespread as it should be. In Spain there are several places where you can plan family vacations without leaving the pet in the house aside, but four of them stand out mainly.
The Spanish capital is an ideal place to travel with animals. Although with some conditions, it is possible to travel on buses, trains and the metro with your pet, as well as in most taxis, as long as they comply with certain rules. Parks like El Retiro, Madrid Río or Casa de Campo will be places where these animals will have fun with their families. In addition, many restaurants, cafes and shops accept the entry of pets. It won't be hard to find places to stay either.
One of the best pet-friendly destinations that can be chosen as a vacation spot in Spain is Asturias, especially its most important cities: Oviedo and Gijón. Owners and their pets will enjoy access to numerous establishments, where they can shop or savor the best of local gastronomy with complete peace of mind. In addition, the many green areas and several of its beaches are also free for animals.
Barcelona is one of the first cities that come to mind when thinking of a pet-friendly destination. In it you can find an excellent offer of restaurants and shops that allow access with pets. The same goes for hotels, apartments and other accommodation options. Which greatly facilitates being able to enjoy the place without worrying that the animal cannot be a part of the family plans.
As in other cities, in Valencia it is possible to sit in restaurants and stay in hotels where pets will be welcome. But the Valencians go further. Thanks to an initiative to facilitate access to transport with animals, the EMT Mascot Title can be obtained at its EMT Citizen Service Office. With it, the owners will have the opportunity to travel by bus with their furry companion.
