General Information
For safety reasons, dogs are not allowed on escalators. They are allowed in the lifts.

​Dogs are not allowed to sit on the seats and if any damage is caused by the dog the person in charge of the dog at that time will be held responsible.  The dogs owner will be vicariously liable.

At times when the metro is likely to be very crowded and the safety of passengers and animals so requires, the operator may restrict access to dogs.

What happens if you do not follow the metro guidlines?
If the handler does not meet the terms established (pursuant to articles 64.s) or 65.p) of Law 4/2006 of 31 March on rail transport, they will be commiting a minor or serious offence and subject to the relevant consequences.
