For over two years, the Catalan Tourist Board has been working hard to promote resorts and destinations that stand out for their comprehensive and varied range adapted to the needs of people with a disability or impaired mobility. As a result of this work, the Catalan Tourist Board has been admitted as a full member of the European Network of Accessible Tourism (ENAT), the accessible tourism association of reference in Europe. In addition, the Catalan Tourist Board and the Fundación ONCE have signed a collaboration accord to work together to develop actions and initiatives to promote accessible tourism in Catalonia. The “Turisme per a Tothom” (Tourism for All) campaign run by the Catalan Tourist Board has been awarded the 2009 Alimara Prize. Over the course of these last two years, numerous Catalan tourist amenities, resources and services have joined this project, as is evident in the inclusion in this guide of two new destinations and the “Way of Saint James in Catalonia for All” project. This guide presents a total of 22 tourist destinations and routes in Catalonia, which between them form a better adapted range of tourism options and a higher level of accessibility and best practices. The information in this guide is complemented by the website www.turismeperatothom.com, which details and assesses the access conditions offered by companies and amenities of interest to tourists in the destinations featured in this guide and elsewhere in Catalonia.

Vall de Boí is a group of valleys and mountain ranges in the county of Alta Ribagorça, in the province of Lleida. From here we can go to Aigüestortes National Park and Sant Maurici lake, with an extraordinary landscape and more than a hundred lakes set in one of the most beautiful and unspoiled spots in Catalonia. The many hiking paths allow us to discover it and rest in the natural environment. Vall de Boí is also an interesting cultural destination thanks to the Romanesque churches which have been declared UNESCO World Heritage. The beauty and singularity of Vall de Boí make it the ideal place for enjoying a complete holiday in the midst of nature. The Boí-Taüll resort is a wonderful place for any outdoor activity. In the winter season you can enjoy the full charm of the Pyrenees with adapted skiing, and in summer do not forget to take an excursion in Aigüestortes National Park.

The BaqueiraBeret resort attracts lovers of winter sports. Val d’Aran provides visitors with all the entertainment of nature, art and sport. The high mountain landscape combines quite different natural environments and is the ideal setting for a range of mountain activities: hiking, climbing, cycling, archery.... Nevertheless, skiing is king owing to the presence of Baqueira-Beret resort, which has the necessary infrastructure for everyone to enjoy the sport. Val d’Aran After a day of adventure, the best way to relax is to take a stroll in the valley, where you will find Romanesque churches in incomparable natural settings, and then restore your strength by sampling the Olla Aranesa, the typical local stew. As it is so close, you can also visit Aigüestortes National Park and Sant Maurici lake. Adapted skiing This destination offers you… Accommodation Consult all the accommodation available at this destination in the directory, on page 56. Ski stations Baqueira Beret 11 Pallars Sobirà (Pirineus) Pallars Sobirà is a high mountain county set amid peaks like Pica d’Estats, although most of the sporting activities take place in the valleys. Many of them are accessible to everyone. The relief of the mountains of Pallars Sobirà makes them ideal for sports in the open air. The highest peak in Catalonia is here, Pica d’Estats (3143 metres). That is why it is not strange that the first sport introduced into this area was mountaineering. And today horse-riding is beginning to be particularly important thanks to the efforts of Peufort Horse Riding Centre, the first riding centre in Pallars Sobirà which has managed to make this sport accessible to everyone. Nature and learning to live with it is the aim of the Planes de Son Centre, totally integrated into the landscape, with facilities that are unique in the Pyrenees. Owing to the importance of The Romanesque and Romanesque historical heritage, the beauty of the landscapes and the availability of outdoor sports, the tourist sector has grown and the range of establishments has multiplied. Most of them are accessible.

La Seu d’Urgell was once a military fortress and later became the seat of the bishop of the diocese of Urgell, which consecrated the landmark building of the city, the Romanesque cathedral of Santa Maria d’Urgell. Its cloister is outstanding, as are the Diocesan Museum and the church Sant Pere i Sant Miquel. The town council has laid out accessible routes for panoramic visits to this heritage.

La Cerdanya is a natural corridor between Catalonia, Andorra and France. The combination of the high mountain landscape and the widest valley in Catalonia makes it ideal for any kind of sport. The high mountain cooking, typical of the Pyrenees, is another of the attractions of La Cerdanya. Local products are used to produce recipes such as “trinxat” (bubble and squeak) or “pa de fetge” (liver loaf).

Camprodon is in the county of El Ripollès, one hour from Barcelona and Girona, in a beautiful natural mountain area, with a long tradition in the world of rambling. The magnificent landscape invites us to make long excursions, whilst the two rivers, the Ter and the Ritort, and the abundance of springs make for an ideal walk.

The peace and quiet of the countryside and the blue of the horizon vie with the steep relief of its coast and the coves which have made the Costa Brava world famous. The natural areas of Alt Empordà are of great ecological interest: the Aiguamolls nature reserve is a haven for many migratory birds and an attractive spot for nature lovers. Much of the landscape we see from Empordà is dominated by the Pyrenees, where an enormous range of recreational activities is on offer. Kayaking can be an unforgettable experience and, thanks to the sensitivity of some companies, it is now accessible to everyone.

Montserrat is many things at the same time: it is a natural park, a museum and the sanctuary of the patron saint of Catalonia. The ride up to the abbey in the cog train is itself a tourist attraction due to the impressive views that can be seen as it makes its dramatic ascent. Once at the top, take the tourist train suitable for the disabled and enjoy a pleasant trip around the area. Món Sant Benet is an innovative space where you can make the most of the cultural and leisure activities offered in an outstanding natural environment.

The Monastery of Santa Maria de Bellpuig de les Avellanes, which stands close to the main route of the Way of Saint James, was founded in the 12th century and has a Romanesque cloister and Gothic church. Staying at the Monastery of Les Avellanes provides an opportunity to admire its unique location at the foot of the Sierra de Montsec in the lands of the Counts of Urgell.

This part of the Mediterranean coast will fascinate you with its mild climate and wide sandy beaches and calm waters. El Maresme has a great atmosphere with its street life and its cookery, based on fresh fish and garden produce. All of that goes to make up its naturally Mediterranean character.

T. 973 283 075 Web: oliba.uoc.edu/lab/lleida 45 El Penedès – Accessible Wine Tourism (Costa Daurada and Costa del Garraf) Vines recognise no boundaries, be they geographical or political divisions established by humankind. For this reason, the El Penedès Denomination of Origin, guaranteeing the source of the wine that carries this seal, covers the entire district. Vineyards extend across 26,000 hectares in El Penedès, planted at a density of 2,300 to 3,000 individual vines per hectare. Some varieties trained to grow along wires, such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, are cultivated at up to 5,000 vines per hectare, with each individual vine producing fewer grapes in order to ensure superior quality. Most of the vineyards in the area are small or medium-sized. There is one other defining characteristic of El Penedès and that is that most wineries produce wine using grapes from their own vines, meaning they are responsible for their product from the very start of the long winemaking process to the end. This care and personal monitoring of the vines by winemakers can be appreciated in the final result. These are elegant wines with a style of their own. For thousands of years, the land of El Penedès has been associated with winegrowing and making. To discover El Penedès is to discover a landscape and a people who, generation after generation, have made vines the basis of their economy, society and cultural life. El Penedès has made determined efforts to enable everyone to enjoy the experience of learning about how sparkling cava and still wines are produced by visiting the wineries and vineyards and by sampling the finished product.

Experience the sensation of becoming a miner, discover the remarkable force of water, feel the social control that governed model industrial settlements, learn the secrets of the bosses and workers, developments in crafts and trades and machinery, make paper with your own hands and much, much more. Industrial tourism can stir strong emotions in the young and old alike and allows you to discover another world, Catalan industrial society which, because of its closeness to us in time, can easily be understood and appreciated. This is the great discovery of those who embark on industrial tourism: how to capture the world of grandparents and greatgrandparents and feel the emotion of being able to understand them better. The partnership between these municipalities offers the opportunity to learn about the enormous diversity in the land and in manufacturing in Catalonia and to discover its varied social legacy and heritage and their evolution in a more comprehensive and decentralised manner. The Accessible Industrial Tourism Route takes in a selection of amenities and resources that enable everyone to enjoy all these experiences. Museum of Science and Technical of Catalonia, Terrassa (Barcelona) Industrial tourism, like any form of cultural tourism, connects the present-day circumstances and historical evolution of a particular area, thereby providing an understanding of its current situation in an easy and enjoyable manner.

T. 937 368 966 Web: www.mnactec.cat 49 The Way of Saint James for All The Way of Saint James is a major cultural route that crosses the entire Iberian Peninsula from the cape of Cap de Creus to the cape of Cabo de Finisterre. The route starts in Catalonia at Sant Pere de Rodes and follows a course that takes in the Monastery of Montserrat before reaching Alcarràs (Lleida), where it enters Aragon. Catalonia has been linked from the very beginning to routes connected with Saint James. Popular tradition has it that the Apostle preached in Barcelona, Lleida and Saragossa. Some of the places along the Way that Saint James is believed to have passed through still hold popular festivals to commemorate his visit, among them the festival of Els Fanalets de Sant Jaume (The Little Lanterns of Saint James) in Lleida. One of the first Catalan pilgrims was Abbot Cesari of Montserrat, who made the pilgrimage to Compostela in 1059. The Way of Saint James crosses mountains and valleys, solitary spots and densely populated cities; it follows all kinds of paths, tracks, roads and highways that constantly go up hill and down dale. Needless to say, it is impracticable for most people in wheelchairs. Nevertheless, we here will be identifying all those stretches regarded as practicable or most suitable for people with a physical disability or impaired mobility and which are also of special cultural importance or natural beauty. La Gorga Bridge, L’Esquirol (Osona) The way of Saint James for All appears with the aim to bring this great route over of pilgrimage to all the persons, independently of his age, condition and physical condition archaeology, sociology, architecture, urbanism, geography and technology.
