I'll be in Spain later this year with my dog, I've just told him; he aint happy.
I did do a few searches online but didn't find anything concrete, most of what I read was to do with animal welfare (not leaving dogs unattended, neglected, etc) although I did see large fines could be issued under...
Sorry I totally forgot to update the thread: my wife received a reply from the "Igrexa de Santiago" in A Coruña. They will have two masses on the 25th and she'll be able to get a stamp just before/after either one. Great news! This way she'll be able to leave before sunrise on the 26th :cool...
She LOVES tortilla! But she'll miss out on Betanzos because she starts from A Coruña (technically she started already when she did the Reading to Southampton route earlier this year)

WOAH! This is one spicy thread...
For reference I've cycled CF 3x and VdLP 1x and I cycle to and from work 2h every day. Us cyclists, we HAVE to slow down when passing walkers, it's not a race and the speed differential is really jarring. If you slow down and say hello I don't think a bell is...
So pepper-spray is a no-no in Spain?
I'm just one data point: I've cycled the CF twice and VdLP once, and it was on the VdLP that I came across a bunch of rowdy Spanish Mastiffs protecting their posse of sheep on the section between "Casar de Cáceres" and "Embalse de Alcántara" and aside from...
