Most Spanish tourist offices abroad, including that in London, carry information sheets, which while pretty basic, include some useful addresses for disabled travellers, together with details of accessible accommodation throughout the country.

More specifically, in Andalucia, wheelchair accessibility is improving and all new public buildings are now required to have wheelchair access. However, it remains comparatively rare in cheaper accommodation, although several of the province's youth hostels, including Cordoba and Cazorla, have rooms adapted to the disabled.

Senior Travellers

Many museums, art galleries, and historic buildings, in general, have reduced prices for people over 60, and Paradores also offer discounts for over 55's at part of their 'Golden Nights´ programme.
