Short description

A portal with information on accessible tourism for people with wheelchairs, reduced mobility, visual and hearing impairments and mental disabilities.

Long description

The portal offers various filters to meet the different needs of visitors that visit Spain and provide a comfortable experience for everyone. One can choose from options such as destinations, accommodation, activities, transport, professionals and agencies. Once an area of interest has been selected, the search can be further refined using the following filters: wheelchair users, reduced mobility, visually impaired, hearing impaired and mentally impaired.

Once the filers have been customised to the user’s specific needs, the portal will suggest suitable locations and provide links for further access. With this function, travel plans can be optimised to suit the user’s needs.
