The Catalan tourism industry has invested considerable effort
in ensuring its services are accessible, turning into a reality the
principle that people with any form of disability have an equal
right to enjoy cultural life, leisure activities, free time and sports,
as promoted by UN Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities and the World Tourism Organization (WTO)
in its resolution entitled “Accessible Tourism for All”.
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
(Pirineus)
Vall de Boí, near Aigüestortes National Park, is a very special
environment for enjoying nature and sport.
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 Boí-Taüll
resort complex has six hotels and a short
way away is Caldes de Boí spa, partially
accessible, with mineral hot springs of
different compositions and temperatures.

Val d’Aran
(Val d’Aran)
Val d’Aran has features which are quite different from the other Catalan
valleys, since it is on the Atlantic side of the mountains. 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.

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
(Pirineus)
La Seu d’Urgell, capital of the Pyrenees and world canoeing venue,
invites you to enjoy this sport and all its cultural heritage, in a typical
mountain landscape
The city is a major tourist centre thanks to
its cultural and artistic heritage, because it
is the venue for top level sports events and
because it is close to the Andorra and La
Molina ski slopes.
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.
Segre Olympic Park, La Seu d’Urgell
La Seu d’Urgell and the surroundings offer
a range of sports and leisure activities all
year round.
Moreover, the Segre Olympic Park, laid
out on the occasion of the Barcelona 92
Olympic Games, has the most advanced
technology in the shape of a set of canals
for adapted flat-water canoeing.
La Seu d’Urgell is an active city, services
centre and cultural capital of a large area of
the Pyrenees.

La Molina - La Cerdanya
(Pirineus)
La Molina, in the county of La Cerdanya, is a pioneer resort for adapted
skiing.
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).
Cadí Mountain, La Cerdanya
The impressive ski resorts are the centre
of interest for many travellers who want
to spend a few days enjoying nature and
sport. For its beauty and singularity, do not
forget to visit the famous Mediaeval castle
in Llívia.

Camprodon – Rural Tourism in the Pyrenees
(Pirineus)
Camprodon, a town in the county of El Ripollès, is a pioneer in the world
of rambling and tourism thanks, amongst other things, to a
generous nature.
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
climate, with heavy snow in winter, makes
it perfect for skiers. Camprodon offers
sport in a natural environment, such as
excursions in the snow and adapted
guided cycling routes along the Girona
Green Way.
Camprodon Valley, Ripollés
For blind and partially sighted people,
the Guies Nord-Sud offer outings with
snowshoes over the mountains and even
the chance to build an igloo.
Camprodon also has interesting
Romanesque monuments and a busy
shopping centre and is close to the Vallter
2000 ski slopes.

La Garrotxa
(Pirineus)
La Garrotxa is a county between the mountains and the plain. The
landscape, originally volcanic, makes this area quite unusual and excellent
for outdoor activities of all kinds.
La Garrotxa is a varied territory. We can
distinguish two zones: the Fluvià river
valley, called Alta Garrotxa, and the
southern part where we find the capital of
the county, Olot.
The La Garrotxa volcanic area nature
reserve is the finest example of a volcanic
landscape on the Peninsula, where you
can engage in a host of activities. Here we
find the Fageda d’en Jordà, a very special
wood where beeches grow in volcanic soil.

The Dalí route
(Costa Brava)
The Dalí Route, also known as the Dalí Triangle, links the towns of Púbol
and Cadaqués with Figueres. At these three places you will find the keys
to interpret the work of this quite peculiar Catalan painter.
Figueres is home to the Dalí TheatreMuseum, which is partially accessible to a
people with reduced mobility. The capital
of the county of Alt Empordà is marked
by the exceptional personality of the
Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí.
The Theatre-Museum and its annex, Torre
Galatea, are two places well worth seeing,
both outside and in. Moreover, visitors can
pause at the Catalonia Toy Museum.
Gala-Dalí Castle, Púbol (Girona)
The Dalí Route forms a right-angled
triangle with Figueres at the top. On one
of the sides is Púbol, where you can visit
the castle which the painter gave to his
muse, accessible except for the crypt
and the attic. On the other side of the
Dalí triangle, in Portlligat, is Dalí and Gala’s
house, not accessible at present.
To end the route you can visit the Jewel
Museum, the most accessible one of the
Gala-Dalí Foundation.

Costa Brava - Alt Empordà
(Costa Brava)
Alt Empordà is outstanding for the beauty of its coastline and the
Catalan Pyrenees. 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. If you like to walk, whether
through the Pyrenean range or on the
many beaches along the coast, you can
capture the full beauty of the landscape.
Alt Empordà has joined modernity and the
conservation of nature, which makes it a
unique place.

Vic - Osona
(Catalunya Central)
Osona is a county in the hinterland close to Barcelona. Its beauty,
diversity and the quality of its landscapes, as well as its important cultural
resources, make it highly appreciated as a holiday destination.
The county of Osona is in the province of
Barcelona and its features are the broad
fields and meadows. Gastronomy is an
important element, since it has much top
quality produce of its own.
Vic is the capital of the county and a large
episcopal diocese that stretches from
the Pyrenees to La Conca de Barberà.
Cloister of the Cathedral of Vic, Osona (Barcelona)
Vic cathedral, built in neo-Classical style,
towers over the city centre. Beside it

Costa Brava - Baix Empordà
(Costa Brava)
The Costa Brava is a mixture of wild landscapes and hidden coves with
their crystal clear waters, the green of the pine trees and the blue of the
sea. A place that combines culture, nature and recreation to perfection.
The ease of access, the natural beauty
of the environment, the beaches, the
importance of the historical and cultural
heritage and the wide range of activities
offered by Baix Empordà makes it the
ideal place to spend a long holiday.
Mountains, plain and sea combine in this
magnificent natural environment. In Baix
Empordà you can enjoy a stretch of the

The Monasteries Route on the Way of Saint
James in Catalonia (Catalunya Central and Terres de Lleida)
Along the stretch of the Way of Saint James in Catalonia, you will find
three places of retreat and spirituality set in locations of incomparable
natural beauty open for everyone to enjoy.
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 Sant Benet is one of the few
monuments that bear the mark of various
different periods, from the late Middle Ages
through to Modernisme (Art Nouveau).
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.
The three monasteries are resources for
pilgrims, offering facilities for people with
disabilities or impaired mobility and fulfilling
their commitment to provide hospitality and
shelter for all who pass their way.

Maresme
(Costa de Barcelona - Maresme)
The Costa de Barcelona - Maresme has spots that are not to be missed
with a wide range of tourist attractions: recreation, beach, culture and
sport.
A few kilometres north of Barcelona is
the coastal county of El Maresme. The
gateway is El Masnou, a fishing village
where you can take in the full beauty of its
old seaside houses which contrast with the
more stately looking mansions.
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.
Port of Maresme Coast
The famous town of Calella is set in a
unique natural landscape, between the
Montnegre nature reserve and a wide
beach which has been awarded the “Q”
for Quality and the blue flag of European
beaches. There are also amphibious
chairs that make it easy to move around
the sand and bathe with total safety.
Santa Susanna beach is also adapted and
accessible to everyone. Likewise, we find
a wide range of adapted accommodation,
given the large number of tourists who visit
the area.

Route of the Royal Monasteries of Catalonia
(Costa Daurada and Terres de Lleida)
Along the Route travellers can enjoy the charm of the Cistercian
monasteries that link the three counties of La Conca de Barberà, Alt
Camp and Urgell.
In the 12th century the Cistercian order
entered Europe, bringing their architecture
and religion to the West. There are
samples in the counties of La Conca de
Barberà, Alt Camp and Urgell. Along
this Route you can visit the museums,
churches, monasteries, castles, chapels
and shrines scattered all over the zone.
Two of the outstanding monasteries,
Poblet, which has been declared World
Heritage by UNESCO, and Santes Creus,
make a visit easy with models and guides
in braille which go to show, once again,
that the cultural heritage can be accessible
to everyone.
In these monasteries find our kings buried
in Poblet the Royal Panteones of the
Crown of Aragon, in Santes Creus the
tomb of King Peter the Great and in Santa
Maria de Vallbona the tomb of Queen
Violante of Hungary.
Along this Route you can play sports or
walk in the incredible natural settings.
The area is also rich in local produce:
“cavas” (sparkling wine), “calçots” (spring
onions) and “coques de recapte” (savoury
pastries), which are the visitors’ delight.

Garraf - Sitges
(Costa del Garraf)
El Garraf is a county bathed by the Mediterranean. The cliffs, the jagged
relief and the limestone distinguish it from the rest of Catalonia.
El Garraf is outstanding for its range of
cultural attractions and because it is a
pioneer of tourism in Catalonia.
Sitges is the most popular seaside town
in the area. It has immense adapted
beaches with amphibious chairs and an
excellent tourist infrastructure.
One of the charms of El Garraf is its
nature reserve, which has two circuits
adapted for the blind and people with
reduced mobility. The sensory circuit
is equipped with information in braille
and other elements that encourage the
development of the senses. The second
itinerary will introduce you to the botany of
the environment.

Barcelona
(Barcelona and Catalunya Central)
An internationally renowned destination
with an ample supply of accessible
accommodation, cultural and gastronomic
routes. In this guide we will pick out the
Gothic Route and the Modernisme (Art
Nouveau) Route, the work of the great
architect Gaudí.
The three highlights of Gaudí’s work are:
Park Güell, La Sagrada Família and La
Pedrera. The facade of this mansion,
which he converted into an impressive
undulating mass of stone, recalls an
eroded rock formation in constant
movement.
The Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) is in the
centre of old Barcelona. We begin the
tour at Portal del Bisbe, flanked by two
cylindrical towers of the old Roman wall

Lleida
(Terres de Lleida)
Lleida is one of the oldest cities in
Catalonia, half way between the sea
and the mountains, with a strong spirit of
hospitality. That is why it is an important
services centre as its wide range of hotels,
some accessible, confirms.
Despite its many attractions, Lleida is
almost unknown to tourists. Visitors
interested in history and art will find a
large number of monumental buildings
in the city that reflect the passage of the
different cultures over the years: from
Roman remains to new buildings like the
Palau de la Diputació and a number of
Modernisme houses.
The old cathedral or Seu Vella, partially
accessible, is the city landmark.
Apart from the cultural heritage, Lleida has
many natural spaces such as the Mitjana
Park, an ecosystem of great natural and
ecological value.
In Lleida you will find a different way of
enjoying leisure and culture.
Seu Vella (Lleida)
Lleida is a city on the banks of the Segre river with an important cultural

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.

Accessible Industrial Tourism Route
(Catalunya Central and Costa del Garraf)
Visiting museums, following industrial
itineraries and routes and seeing for
oneself the landscapes of these towns and
villages provides insights into the history
of the industrial revolution, transports
you back in time and takes you right into
the heart of the working-class world,
both sociologically and technologically.
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. Its multidisciplinary nature combines history,
archaeology, sociology, architecture, urbanism, geography and technology.

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.
