Although the law states that Shops, Bars, Cafeterias and other establishments need to be adapted to wheelchair users/special needs this is not always the case.  Quite often a bar offers an adapted bathroom only to find that there is a huge step to enter the bar, thus placing an inicial barrier.  I will be added as and when possible places that I have visited that only offer full accessibility, in other words no barriers.  If any guests visiting this blog can recommend any 100% no barriers places to visit in Andalucia, plus have photographs I would be delighted to add them to this blog.  I would appreciate any contribution, thank you.

 

La Jijonenca Cafeteria in Estepona (Cervecería, Heladería artesano, Tapas, Montaditos) offers full wheelchair friendly facilities.  There are no barriers, inside there is a slight ramp leading to the adapated bathroom (photo below).

 

Entrance to Bar:  No steps

Entrance to Bathroom:  Via ramp (slight inclination)

Inside Bar:  Air-conditioned

Outside Terrace:  No steps

 

 

 

 

 

Hiring People with Disabilities

I want to share this positive article with you, although not referring particularly to Andalucia, more so to the disability workforce in general.

Barbara Otto is the principle of Think Beyond the Label, a private-public collaborative venture based in the US that aims to improve recruitment opportunities for qualified job candidates with disabilities.


Quote:
People with disabilities are creative problem-solvers and technology adopters with fresh perspectives that organisations need

We've found they have low rates of absenteeism and turnover, which reduces a company's recruitment and retention costs.
