In the past, Spain has not had a great reputation for good disabled access facilities for accommodation, beach access and
for access to tourist attractions, however things are certainly improving. There are noticeable improvements
mostly in some of Spain's older resorts such as Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Benidorm and in popular Spanish
cities such as Barcelona. Some of the more relaxing and quieter Spanish resorts are also putting more emphasis
on easy access onto beaches, and benefit from flat level beach promenades. Torremolinos and Benidorm provide excellent
public transport, and many local buses now are catering well for disabled travellers.

center of the Iberian Peninsula. Getafe is located 13 km south of Madrid's
city centre, within a flat area of Spain's Meseta Central in the Manzanares River basin.
Roquetas de Mar in the Costa Almeria, has always been popular with
Spanish holidaymakers - and now Brits are discovering it, too. The fishing town
comes with huge beaches, a palm-fringed promenade lined with restaurants plus
fantastic tapas bars. You’ve also got a lovely old town here, with narrow Moorish
streets and rustic houses.
A promenade with restaurants and cafés stretches for around 13 kilometres, linking
Roquetas’ long string of beaches.
Gastronomy in Roquetas de Mar revolves around the fruits of the sea with rice and
lobster topping the list of local specialities. Also sample seafood and pasta stews,
typical Andalusian style fried fish and a variety of other plates based on fish and
shellfish.
It’s only about half an hour’s drive to Almeria, the capital of Almeria province.
Overlooking the city is the Moorish fort of Alcazaba, which has towers, ruins and
dungeons to explore. Another must-see is the cathedral, with it Gothic ceiling and
marble trimmings. Between sightseeing, the streets off La Rambla provide plenty of
cafés.
The clue is in the name for La Manga - this narrow stretch of land is Spanish for sleeve.
It hangs off Murcia’s shoreline, separating the Mediterranean Sea from the country’s biggest
lagoon, the Mar Menor. And it packs a lot in to its 21-kilometre-long stretch. The whole place
is fringed with beaches and restaurant-lined promenades before ending in a huge marina.
There are a number of promenades along the beaches making it perfect for a disabled holidays.
Los Alcazares has a fantastic coastline with over 7 kilometres of sandy beaches which give
direct access to the warm waters of the Mar Menor. Parallel to these beaches and running the
entire length of town is the extremely long promenade, which is great for a stroll.
The town centre is relatively spread out and has a good
selection of shops whilst the Bahia Centre in the Los Narejos area is packed with
international eateries which are always busy during high season.
The street market is held every Tuesday morning in Los Alcazares and if you miss that
one there is also one in Los Narejos on a Saturday morning.

few remaining untouched coastal areas. The culture is very loyal to its traditional
Spanish roots. In the town centre, you can expect a clutch of local restaurants serving up
their ‘plato del dia’(dish of the day), and boutique shops dotted along the streets.
Every Saturday, Torre-Pacheco comes alive with a bustling market, selling souvenirs,
fresh fruit and vegetables.
Torre-Pacheco is on the Costa Calida which, thanks to its own micro-climate, stays warmer
and dryer all-year-round than its northerly neighbours. It’s home to Mar Menor, a huge
saltwater lagoon that’s separated from the Mediterranean Sea by nothing more than a thin
slither of land.
It’s got a multi-cultural heritage, and over 2,500 years of history to its name.
From the 16th century, it was in high demand as a naval port, with the Greeks,
Romans and North Africans all leaving their footprint. Today, it’s a lively city,
peppered with tapas bars and designer shops in-between the ancient ruins and
monuments. Sat on a hilltop above Cartegena is the Castillo de la Concepcion,
which has the best all-around views of the city and the port.
Holidays to Benidorm centre on the huge beaches and stay-up-late nightlife. You
won’t miss out on traditional Spanish flavour, though, with a cobbled old town
and trips to Alicante.
Although Benidorm stretches quite a long way along the coast, the town
itself is compact, without too many steep walks.
Benidorm really has been at the forefront of the holiday business for so long and continues to keep itself there with
improvements for its disabled customers every year. The three disabled access points to the beach, open from 10am to 7pm, include
changing rooms with extended shaded area for users, and a concrete ramp which gives easy access to the sea for wheelchair users.
So many people return to Benidorm specifically because of the superb disabled facilities.
At the seaside, shellfish and salt-dried fish are on the menus of every restaurant. The day's choice might include gilthead
(dorada), bass baked in salt (lubina a la sal), seafood with a squeeze of lemon, or some delicious sea-fresh red mullet
(salmonete) and whiting (pescadilla).
After dark, Benidorm comes into its own. In the old town, tapas places fill the
air with the scent of sizzling chorizo, while the Levante area plays host to
comedians, tribute bands and the occasional drag queen.
Benidorm’s quiet neighbour. You’ll find the little town of Albir just next to Benidorm. However the two resorts are poles
apart. Albir does things on a much smaller scale - in fact, the town’s biggest draws are
its go-slow beach life and its pretty nature walks. Albir’s proximity to Benidorm means that, when you do fancy
something a little livelier, you’ve got lots of options on your doorstep.
There’s Terra Mitica, one of Europe’s biggest theme parks, the Aqualandia waterpark, and
Spain’s answer to SeaWorld all within a half-hour drive of Albir.

areas of interest for the little ones. The area around Torrevieja is nationally and
internationally known for its salt production.
