Many of Barcelona’s residents have a dog, which means dog parks and dog-friendly facilities are a local necessity. This, of course, is great news for those of traveling with furry friends and you can take full advantage of these comforts as well.
Barcelona is located on the Mediterranean coast, which means it is pretty much always the type of weather that is great for wandering around outdoors with your dog. Leash your dog and stroll through the city to admire the architecture used in buildings such as the Sagrada Familia and the Barcelona Cathedral. While walking around, stop by some of the pet bakeries in Barcelona, especially Eixample. Here, check out Barkcelona, Don Perro, Animals & Cia, and Mister Guau Center. Keep the local rules in mind, like picking up after your dog and leashing the dog.
The largest park is North Station Park, also known as Parc de la Estació del Nord. Next, there is Joan Miró Park, with almost 800m2 to enjoy. Industry Garden (Jardins de la Indústria) is also centrally located and is often busy with other dogs. Well-mannered dogs can also enjoy plenty of other green spaces in the city, such as Parc de la Ciutadella or Parc del Guinardó. In case you want to plan a day trip to the outdoors, you could consider the Collserola mountains or the Besós River as both are popular with dogs and their owners.
Do you want to go to the beach? Dogs are always allowed to roam here during the winter. During the summer, dogs can only come here after sunset, which means early mornings or late at night. Then again, Barcelona has dog-friendly beaches, such as Santo Pol de Mar, Sant Pere Pescador, and Port Ginesta. Moreover, Barcelona allows travelling by subway with dogs outside of busy periods, for example.
