Are you travelling with a guide, assistance or support dog?


Guide, assistance and support dogs travel for free with you; you must provide the documentation that proves their duties. Likewise, these dogs are allowed to enter and stay in public buildings and premises.

Guide dogs and assistance dogs are those trained in specialised and officially recognised schools to accompany, guide and help people with disabilities.

Support dogs are considered to be those that have been specifically trained and warn of a medical alert in people with diabetic and epileptic disorders. Emotional support dogs are not included among the assistance dogs that travel free of charge with their owners.

Trainers and socialisation agents have the same access rights as users of guide, assistance and support dogs when accompanied by them during the socialisation, training, final adaptation and re-education phases of these animals. Dogs must be duly identified and the instructor must carry the animal's corresponding supporting documentation.
