Transportation, accommodations, monuments and leisure facilities have initiatives to facilitate access to all visitors

Spain leads initiatives that seek to break down barriers and guarantee travel for all. For decades it has been working to consolidate its position as a global benchmark and has integrated accessibility into the entire tourism experience. Turespaña's Spain for All program is an example of Spain's commitment to full inclusion in the tourism sector and of the steps being taken to ensure that limitations do not prevent people from living and enjoying a country of contrasts, traditions, culture, heritage, landscapes, beaches and leisure options.

The country has specific laws and regulations and has adopted accessibility standards in its tourism infrastructure, such as adapted public transportation, inclusive signage and digital accessibility in booking platforms. At the same time, workers in the sector receive specific training on how to serve people with different types of disabilities. All Spanish airports offer the possibility of requesting, free of charge, an assistance service for passengers with reduced mobility or with intellectual, hearing or visual disabilities. Medium and long distance trains also offer the service, and Renfe, the country's main railway operator, does so through the Atendo program. Iconic monuments such as the Alhambra in Granada and the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona have implemented accessibility measures such as ramps, elevators and tactile guides. In addition, Spain is a leader in accessible beaches, with more than 600 adapted for people with reduced mobility, equipped with walkways, amphibious chairs and support services.
