Update

This is truly splendid news Rob. Even though I managed to get a service-dog permit for Emma I was constantly hassled by the uninformed beach inspectors.
They haven't been seen on La Ropa beach since the end of he school holidays and, I think, the local authorities haven't budgeted to pay them until further notice - but it would be a great relief to see this regulation exclude social, and properly cared for family pooches.
Your efforts are very much appreciated.
