HELP! Driving from South Spain to Bristol!
Hi guys!
I have been offered a job in Bristol! ππ»ππ»ππ»
This means there is now a mad dash to get the whole family packed and on our way to our new life.
We have a french bulldog, so we were planning on
driving to Bilbao/Santander , hopping on a boat and going to Portmouth/Plymouth.... But they are all full ππ±
So, can anyone share their knowledge and experiences
regarding driving through Spain and France
up to Calis? I won't part with my dog as he has special dietary requirements.
Thanks in advanced.
Emily!

Not sure why you don't just fly? It's only a short flight, so not an issue for the dogs diet. Our dog has a special diet and managed Australia to UK without issue.

Snub nose dogs are generally unable to fly due to breathing issues.

Snub nosed dogs can fly. It is just some airlines won't.

Re: HELP! Driving from South Spain to Bristol!
Weβve driven through France quite a number of times, Spain less frequently but found it a straightforward, long, slightly boring drive. Lots of places to stop on French motorways so easy for dog breaks as required. We never bother with booking hotels, just aim for a reasonably large town close to the road and there are always a sprinkling of reasonably priced hotels on hand - Campanile, Formule 1 etc. We donβt have a dog so canβt comme on that aspect.

You want to be that punchy when you don't know how to drive from one country to another? Good grief.

The OP lives in a world where air travel has not yet been invented. I envy he/.him. The world was a better place before the Wright Brothers spoiled it all.
