How to Travel with Your Pets to Mallorca?
When it comes to air travel, large dogs are undoubtedly the most disadvantaged, as they are not even allowed in the hold of most airlines. Consequently, the most comfortable (and sometimes the only) option is to opt for sea transport. Several shipping companies operate routes from Barcelona to the two most important ports of Mallorca (Palma and Alcúdia). Here we will talk about the two most important ones: Baleària and Trasmed. Also, a very suitable route from abroad is the Toulon - Alcúdia route.
Baleària
The shipping company is a world pioneer in the use of natural gas, responding to criteria of social responsibility and economic profitability.
