Unfortunately there appears to be an abuse of that whole "service animal" bit. The abusers make the legitimate one's look bad.I met a young woman in the café/bar opposite the monastery at Samos. She was walking with a dog that she had registered as a "Service Dog", even though she had no legitimate need for one. She was quite open in bragging how most albergues allowed it in, and it even enabled an upgrade to Business on her flight from (*** un-named country) to Europe. Of the 20 or so people, I think I was the only who didn't applaud her ingenuity - which made me something of an outcast.
I'm planning on walking the camino del Norte together with my dog but I heard that there are very few places where they allow dogs to sleep.
Does somebody have a list of allbergues, hostels, hotels where dogs are allowed?
Thanks,
Evelyn.
On the following site there is for the CF. I'm passing the site on because it may help you in other ways. It is in Spanish but if you visit in the Chrome browser it can be translated.Does somebody have a list of allbergues, hostels, hotels where dogs are allowed?
My dog travels well on bus and train.
What a coincidence, we walked with a German woman with two dogs and she had to take a taxi from LogronoIt matters not whether your dog travels well on buses and trains, dogs are generally not allowed on public transport in Spain. Particularly buses. If small enough they may be accommodated in a crate underneath in the luggage compartment. But that, of course, requires you to carry the crate and I would not want to be the dog. I walked with someone who bought her dog from Germany and found that it was no fun for her, or the dog. She terminated the walk early, and then had to pay 200 euros to catch a taxi, because she could not take her dog on the bus. She made her way, with difficulty (and taxi), to Santiago, where she could not find anywhere to stay that would accept her small dog. In desperation she smuggled it into a hotel for one night, and flew home the next day. Changing the flight date was another expense. She said the whole thing was a complete, very expensive, disaster.
