Have a look at www.accessiblebarcelona.com/english/contact/press.html
I found it through yahoo by looking for 'Barcelona con silla de ruedas'.
Also look at 'www.bcn.es/english/ihome.htm' and key in 'wheelchairs'. This is the town hall's english website.
I am sure that you will enjoy your holiday. Barcelona is probably the best city in spain for wheelchair users. Even so watch out!

Sorry - can only help you with information on Barcelona .Most visitors stay in or near the Ramblas or in the Gothic Quarter just to the east. This is a good base from where you can explore the city's sights by day including Gaudi's masterpiece, the unfinished Sagrada Família Cathedral, and Parc Güell in the north. Or maybe visit the 98,000 seater Nou Camp stadium the home of Barcelona football club. See http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/barcelona.htm for more detaiols.

You will be fine, Barcelona is brilliant and very modern and up to date, great for wheelchairs and much more. We go to La Pineda which is the next resort up from Salou, and the area is very good for wheelies, the beaches have ramps too. The buses are good and modern and clean and Barcelona has an underground system which you can use too.
We stop at Estival Park hotel and the swimming pools have wheelchair ramps there too.
have fun

I went to Lanzarote in 2005, that is a few distance nicer than fueteventura! In Lanzarote there are not any homes allowed over 2 storeys i imagine that is, so there are not any huge large motels. Drove round Costa Teguise that is somewhat tremendously, properly progression sensible as Lanzarote is tremendously a lot a barren rock! lol large activities, Do volcano visit visit Caesar Milans living house that is equipped out of a lava bubble! there is large underground caves and so on. As you likely accumulated i do not do sunbathing! i might want to bypass lower back to Lanzarote the following day given 1/2 a probability.

I heard of a site (and once visited, although not lately) called Gimp On The Go. It's by a wheelchair-bound man who travels alot. Don't know if it's still there and could help you.

I got this from a AARP brochure.Try: General Tours @1.800.858.0908. Tell them what you need, and if they can't help you they probably can recommend someone who can.Good luck to you.
