We returned to Valencia yesterday and I met up with a friend from the UK today. There are no English Shepherds currently residing in Spain to my knowledge. My friend has one and my girls are both English Shepherds. We met up for a walk, and then had to take a photo of the three…

Day 16 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Today we went up the mountain, we were heading for Laguna Negra. A friend from the area was showing us where to go, and had met us in his own car. Halfway up the snow was thick enough to make it impassable for his vehicle, so he parked his car up and jumped into the…

Day 11 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Visited Madrid today, met some friends. Walked through an amazing park in the centre which had beautiful lights all over the trees. Madrid was pretty cold, and we spent most of our trip in a little bar. We had some lovely tapas, and chatted with friends. The dogs were absolutely amazing – really relaxed and…

Day 10 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Woke up this morning with bundles of energy and determined to do my longest hike, just under 13Km. This was another absolutely beautiful walk. The walk itself was massively varied, mountain regions, road walking, valleys with a river running through them, and lastly a small town. The dogs had an amazing time as did…

Day 9 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Went a bit further afield today. To a little town called Alcoi, which is in the province of Valencia, but not the city. The temperature was much cooler due to the height of the city, which is 562m above sea level. Did a lovely walk up a mountain, which culminated in a beautiful, huge cross.…
