Thank you for your opinion! I understand that many people don't want to share the space with a dog but exist many places dog friendly, but my question was if some one have an idea how can I can came back from Spain to Portugal with my dog traveling on a budget!The only advice I can give is in the form of an opinion, and that would be that walking the Camino with a dog is not good for the dog, and that most facilities along the Camino routes, even popular ones like the Portugues and Frances do not cater to dogs and probably most fellow pilgrims aren't keen on sharing space with one. I own dogs, and have owned them for years, but I don't want to share an albergue with one. I would never bring one of my dogs on the Camino.
I'm starting to plan the CaminoAnother website that may be of use to you is

They offer a lot of information on how to prepare for the perregrino and they urge everyone to make an honest analysis of what you dog is capable of. Basically, you plan your camino around the needs of the dog and that should be the basis of your camino plan.
It is easier to walk with a tiny dog like a chihuahua, when they are tired, you lift them up and continue walking. A dog of 30 kgs ... not so much. You need to come up with a different plan.
I once had a German Shepherd who loved walking 20 kms a day, and the next day, he would take a rest day. That was his rythm, and that was what made him happy. Every next day, no matter what. Turned out, I loved those rest days as wellso perhaps neither of us qualified for the Camino.
The young Shepherd lady of barely 20 months that now lives in the house, is fiercely protective of me. She will bark at everyone with a deep ROARRR, she will not stop until the person disappears and I am certain that in strange surroundings, she will stay awake during the night to guard me. I expect her to be exhausted within two days. Very sweet, very talented, but no Camino material.
Hope this helps a bit. There are other considerations, like food and feet and heat. There is a lot of info, use it well and make the best plan for you and your friend.
Hi, with a big dog would be more difficult but it is a good idea if I find a driver who loves animalsCould you find a way to the south of Portugal using BlaBla Car or a similar ridesharing service?
My dog and I are used to walking long distances during various days.
My dog adjusts well to different types and brands of food
My dog adjusts well to sleeping in different locations, with unknown people.
My dog travels well on bus and train.
I can carry the extra water, food and gear that my dog needs.
I am ready to give up my goal of reaching Santiago because my dog is unhappy and needs to go home.
Hi, anyone made the Camino Portuguese with a dog with 30kgs?
There’s a shop near me in Cumbria with a sign ‘no dogs unless carried’ - well, to me that’s just a challenge so I paraded through there with my 30kg Labrador Henry in my arms.
In Iberia there seem to be two sorts of dogs - lightweight cat-sized dogs which are clearly, but only recently, regarded as pets and (pardon my rather partial opinion) ‘proper dogs’ which many still see as livestock protectors or farm animals. There are few concessions for the latter.
France is an entirely different matter. If you don’t have a dog, someone will lend you one.
Try Blah blah car sharing. For sure you can get back. I’m Canadian, have a 13 kg hound, I’m in Portugal January to March and hope to walk Fisherman’s Way or some of caminoHi, anyone made the Camino Portuguese with a dog with 30kgs?
I'm thinking to do it with my dog but I don't know how to come back from santiago de compostela to Portugal with my dog in a public transport. Seems that in Spain big dogs like mine are not allowed to travel in a public transports....do you have an idea how to deal with this matter?
I'm travelling in a budget so taxi is not an option for me...
Was the dog allowed in the albergue sleeping quarters?The man in the next bed to me in the Albergue in SJPP had a dog. Three days later I met up with him in Pamplona. The dog was leaving paw prints in blood on the footpath. I thought it was very cruel of him to take his dog on such a long trek.
Was the dog allowed in the albergue sleeping quarters?
Really. I'd like to know which albergue that is so as to avoid it next time in Saint Jean. Given a choice and being that albergues there are not cheap, I have no desire to stay at one that allows dogs in the sleeping quarters.Yes, the dog slept on the bunk with his owner.
