Travelling by motorhome with a dog along the Costa del Sol is easy if you know where dogs are allowed and where they aren't. Near Torrox there are two official dog beaches, the Torrox one by the lighthouse and the one in Torre del Mar, plus plenty of walks through white villages and the sierra where your dog comes along on the lead. The places that don't allow dogs are the Cueva de Nerja and the Caminito del Rey, so it's best to take turns for those visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'll tell you which papers to bring, which dog beaches there are in M\u00e1laga near Torrox, which routes work well with a dog and how to organise yourself from a fixed base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
