Hi,
My family are thinking of moving to the south of Spain. Not 100% which area yet, but looking at Marbella, Benlamadena, Chiclana etc. However, we are worried about bringing our dogs. They are a much loved part of the family and could be the decision maker for coming out or not!!
We already know they are not allowed on the beach (although many people do take them in the winter months at the risk of being fined). But where else is availiable to take them?
They are 'off the lead' dogs and would hate being taken to some of the beautiful manicured parks we have seen and be kept leashed.
In the UK we take them to the woods or down to the river where they can run about and rummage about in the bushes freely - are there places like this we could take them too?
I've heard that if you do let the dogs off the lead they are at the mercy of wild boar, that can be quite dangerous to dogs, is this correct?
Also, what about ticks - are they managable? (I've seen a lot of dogs in Spain with them).
Any advice, tips, experinces and thoughts about bringing dogs to Spain would be much apprecaited.
Many thanks,
Faye
(and Rufus and Curly)
