Activities with your dog: what to do in each destination
A trip with your dog doesn't end at finding somewhere to sleep. The good part starts when you head out to explore: a hiking trail with breathtaking views, a dog-friendly beach where your pup can splash in the water without anyone saying a word, or an adventure park where kids and dogs have the time of their lives.
Here you'll find verified activities in Spain and Andorra: trails of varying difficulty, designated dog beaches, gardens and natural spaces, and seasonal attractions. All with detailed information about pet accessibility, distances, elevation and what you'll actually find when you get there.
2 activities of type "nature and parks"
Hiking trails
From half-hour strolls to full-day hikes. Trails are rated by difficulty (easy, moderate, hard), distance and elevation so you can pick the one that suits your dog's fitness level — and yours.
Dog-friendly beaches
Spain has more and more designated dog beaches where your companion can swim and run free. Here you'll find the ones we know, with information on seasons, facilities and rules.
Nature and parks
Gardens, viewpoints, natural spaces and theme parks where dogs are welcome on a lead. Perfect for easy-going exploration days or when energy levels aren't quite up to a long trail.
Travelling with your dog: practical rules and tips
In most natural spaces in Spain, dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. This applies to national parks, natural parks and biosphere reserves. Always check the specific rules for each area before you set off, especially during nesting season (spring and early summer).
In Andorra, dogs must be on a lead in all natural spaces without exception. It's a rule that is both enforced and respected. In return, the country has an exceptional network of hiking trails, perfectly signposted, and an attitude towards pets that few regions in Europe can match.
On mountain trails, keep an eye on your dog's paw pads: rocky terrain can be tough on them if they're not used to it. Always carry enough water for both of you, and in summer plan to set off early to avoid the hottest part of the day.
