Dogs in restaurants/bars/cafes

There is generally no problem with outside seating restaurants, especially if booking a table and sy you are bring a dog. Viggos dont mind at all and is one of the best value for money restaurants on the front. but book first very popular.

I can't think of any restaurant that doesn't allow dogs at the outside tables. Many now also allow them inside following the recent changes in the Animal Welfare laws in Spain which say that they must be allowed access to transport, restaurants, bars and shops. Here is link that summarises the changes pretty well: https://murciatoday.com/animal-welfare-law-comes-into-force-in-spain-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-regulations_2249717-a.html#:~:text=From%20now%20on%2C%20pets%20must,%2C%20hotels%2C%20restaurants%20and%20bars.

Try restaurants in Pliego !!!!

You should find that most if not all restaurants will allow dogs at outside tables, on terraces, etc. - but less likely inside (unless, it commonly appears, you are a regular / friend of the owner!). It's particularly helpful if your dogs are small and well-behaved, as most pet dogs owned by Spaniards are small - they seem to regard bigger dogs as working dogs (guard dogs, hunting dogs). I have a German Shepherd Dog and have frequently had him with me at outside tables to bars in PdM and other places. Unfortunately, it appears small dogs are intimidated by him (or they have 'small dog syndrome'!) and they get a bit barky!

I have 1 with small dog syndrome and the bigger the dog the louder she gets.
