Pet-Friendly Places to Stay in Spain
Hotels, casas rurales, Airbnb, and campsites — and the new signage rule that now applies to every one of them.
- Under Ley 7/2023, a hotel that won’t take pets must say so with a visible sign and in its written terms.
- Casas rurales are Spain’s self-catering countryside houses, often lower-stress than a shared hotel for a nervous dog.
- Fees must now be specified in writing — ask to see the policy, not just a verbal yes.

Airbnb's Pet Policy in Spain
Set entirely by the host, same as anywhere Airbnb operates — check the House Rules section and message ahead if it's unclear.
-
Camping & Caravan Sites
A well-established part of Spanish and international camping tourism — most campsites accept dogs, usually kept on a lead within the site.

Extra Fees to Expect
A flat per-stay or per-night fee is the most common structure, though occasional deposits appear too — and the law now requires the figure to be written down somewhere.
