Getting to Spain

With the option of either flying or travelling by ferry, you can take the direct or more scenic route. Flights to Madrid start from £60 per person (lasting 2 hours 15 minutes). Alternatively, take the ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao (at a somewhat longer 33 hours 45 minutes) - from £130 per person.

A maximum of five pets may be taken to Spain. Pets travelling from the UK will not be subject to quarantine regulations under the PETS scheme. Check with the carrier for more information.

What is the PETS scheme?

The PETS scheme (Pet Travel Scheme) is an agreement which was made by several EU countries to allow the movement of pets between these countries free of quarantine regulations. Since its introduction, other non-EU countries which are free from the rabies virus have subscribed to the PETS scheme.
