Madrid, Spain
Dog Friendly Madrid
Where To Stay, Walk, Eat And Drink With Your Dog In Madrid
Madrid is the capital of Spain, a high, bright city at the centre of the country that lives outdoors and late. The great Retiro park sits on the edge of the historic centre, Casa de Campo spreads out to the west as the city's wild side, and the Madrid Rio parkland runs along the river. Its neighbourhoods, from Malasana and Chueca to Lavapies and Chamberi, each have their own squares and terraces, and a dog under a cafe table is as Madrileno as a late dinner. It is a city of long walks and longer evenings.
