It has become a top destination for travelling with dogs, thanks to its excellent beaches and its wide range of pet-friendly accommodation and restaurants.
Travelling with dogs by car
If you want to travel with dogs, one of the most convenient and safest alternatives is to do so by car. This means of transport is not only comfortable for taking pets with you, but it also allows you to move around freely and explore different areas of the region. Plus, the car lets you bring everything your dogs need to feel at ease, such as their food, toys and bed. This translates into a more comfortable and enjoyable stay for them.
To make this experience easier, at APPARKYA we have a car park located on the Fuengirola Seafront Promenade, close to the dog-friendly beaches. Remember, you can book in advance of your stay to secure a space.
