Hoy tendría que haber viajado con mi mascota (un caniche toy de 3,5 kgs) de Santiago de Compostela a Madrid.. Compré mi billete con el suplemento para llevar mascota , El suplemento en cuestión son 36 Euros. Cuando hemos visto el compartimento destinado a animales de compañía hemos decidido que un miembro de nuestra familia, como es nuestra perrita Lúa no viajaba en esas condiciones y se ha quedado con mi marido en Santiago. ¡Es vergonzoso!!!. P.D. : Puedo hacer una sugerencia a la dirección de la compañía ALSA : ¡Que se metan ellos en ese compartimento !!!! (si les caben los cuernos).
