Here's some positive news regarding one of the oldest cities in Spain.
The town of Ronda, Andalucia has launched a series of initiatives to help improve accessibility for disabled visitors.
The figures speak for themselves, as there are more than 600 million people in the world with some kind of disability.
Ronda intends to attract such visitors, and plans include designing a tourist route in the old town, adapted for the disabled, with a budget of more than 300,000 euros. The route will include bronze reproductions of the town's main monuments with Braille for the blind. There will also be a Braille map of Ronda.
For the deaf, there will be a system which will allow them to download a video about the monument on their mobile phone via wi-fi with an explanation in sign language. There will also be a tourist guide indicating which services are available and the tourist information office will be in a more accessible area.
