I n Tarragona, the visit to the defensive walls has an information service in Braille. The route through the historic centre of Vic offers a specific route for people with reduced mobility. The visit to the Masia Freixa of Terrassa can be booked in several languages, including sign lan‑ guage. The magnificent Seu Vella in Lleida has made an effort to remove barriers for its visitors, and this effort is also visible at the Gaudí Centre Reus and the cathedral in Solsona, just as it is at the mediaeval route in Manresa and the accessible itinerary in Girona. The character of Catalan cities is evident in the commitment that so many are showing in order make their tourist ex‑ periences available to everyone.

Catalonia is one of the most accessible tourist destinations in Europe, which is shown by the special attention paid to peo‑ ple with disabilities. The small charming vil‑ lages want to charm all tourists without ex‑ ception, such as in the case of Peratallada, which has adapted itineraries so visitors in wheelchairs can discover its mediaeval streets. Plus, enjoy all the information of‑ fered by the Interpretation Centre of the Muntanyes de Prades in Braille, attend the performances of various music festivals in Calella de Palafrugell and admire the main tourist landmarks in Rupit with sign lan‑ guage guides.
