taking my dog to spain

Hi I do it all the time I try and use Brittany ferry dog friendly cabins if I can’t get booked I use Euro tunnel take plenty of wee stops France can be expensive tolls ect but in Spain I can do from Bilbao to alacanti toll free buy your self a 12v plug in kettle plastic cups all in one coffee my kettle takes about 45 to 50 mins to boil so I know it’s time for a wee stop if it’s summer time the picnic areas are ok if not I stick to the service stations.

Hi Doug

   thanks for the advice and tips we are booked on euro tunnel and will plan our journey around your recommendations.

    Kind regards Brian

And you stay with the dog the whole time there is a little dog walking area there as well 

Hi Brian

We have recently travelled down to Alicante via euro tunnel with our dog.

The dog passport wasn’t needed at Folkestone, but believe it’s more for when you travel back.

We planned the route stopping every 2.5 hours. We purchased a Tag for the toll roads in France which made it very easy and no stopping to pay the tolls.

We had an overnight stop in Tours, and another in Guerthary, both with pet friendly hotels, which I can recommend if you need.

The last leg we did it one go travelling via Zaragossa, Valencia then on to Alicante.

I’m sure there are many different routes, but this suited our needs.

It was a great trip, we just told ourselves that it wasn’t a race, and to enjoy the trip.

Please message me if you would like the route and hotels that we used

Regards

John Archer

Hi John,
