Spain allows animals in the catering industry and on all public transport

Image
 A new Spanish animal welfare law was published in the Spanish Official Gazette on March 28, 2023, and will officially be enacted on September 29, 2023. That is good news for dogs, cats, and other pets or animals in general in Spain. However, there are still a few uncertainties about implementing this far-reaching law to guarantee the welfare of animals. What does this favorable law say about going to a restaurant, bar, or hotel with a dog, or what if you want to use public transport? Picture by Pixabay One of the most important points of the law is the right of access of pets to public transport, institutions, and public spaces. According to Article 29. 2, of the law, “public and private establishments, hotels, restaurants, bars and other establishments where drinks and food are consumed” may allow the entry of pets that do not pose a danger to people, other animals, and property. The 'ley de Bienestar Animal' stipulates that pets may only stay in "areas not intended for

Picture by Harry Fabel The roof terrace is accessible to everyone from 11 am until late in the evening. There is a cozy bar and various places to sit, lie, or lounge. On some days there are special evenings with live music and/or a DJ. On the first floor, the hotel has another large outdoor pool with sunbeds and an excellent bar.

Do not buy your cocktails on the Levante beach in Benidorm

Image
Imagine you are on the beach of Benidorm and a man comes to you who says that he is working at a bar along the promenade and would like to get you your favorite cocktail so that you can enjoy it later on your beach spot without any problems. That is possible, unfortunately, these are scammers who, in addition to the fact that you will pay too much, will also put products in your cocktail that are not original, very cheap, and even dangerous. The cocktails are also often prepared in the back of a truck under very unsanitary conditions. So don't do it! Pictures courtesy of the Benidorm Police This kind of scam is common on Levante Beach. The scammers scour the beach line looking for potential victims. Often unsuspecting groups find such kind of service on the beach a luxury. Don't go into it and rather drink a real cocktail at one of the cozy terraces on the promenade itself. These bars have the necessary licenses to serve you the best products.

Canicula in Spain

Image
What is the Canicula you might ask? In the period from July 15/20 to August 15/20, the bright star Sirius of the constellation of the Great Dog (Can Mayor/Canicula) rises with the sun and is referred to as the height of summer or 'high summer'. In Spain, this period is accompanied by temperatures of up to 40 degrees or even more. Picture by Pixabay So the Spanish high summer is accompanied by high temperatures, both during the day and at night, especially in Andalusia, Extremadura, Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha, and the Madrid region where temperatures can rise to 40 degrees or even more. With climate change, it is difficult to indicate what the average temperatures are in Spain today, also because the country is quite large and diverse in terms of weather. But the AEMET, the Spanish meteorological service, speaks of an average temperature of 23 degrees in the summer months, with peaks in the months of June, July, and August. The rainiest month in Spain is June and the warmest mo
