Seville for everyone

Seville, rich millenary heiress of different cultures that settled along the shores of the Guadalquivir River, preserves and pampers its world famous monumental architecture. At the same time it proudly and brilliantly treasures mysterious secrets that romantic authors attempted to release in mythical works such as Carmen, The Barber of Seville or Don Juan, amongst many others.
Nonetheless, the Seville that we wish to introduce to you today is a synopsis of the values of its past heritage and modernity of its present reality. Such a symbiosis holds the city's historical character which offers contemporary infrastructures which convert the city into a first class tourist destination, not just for the individual tourist but also for the business person attending conferences or incentive trips.
Considering all of the above, within these pages I would like to offer the warmest welcome to our visitors with the assurance that your stay in Seville will be an experience that won't let you down; one that almost always sparks long lasting ties.
Edited by the Seville Tourist Board, and co-ordinated by Valinet, the Guide to Accessible Tourism in Seville, Seville for everyone has recently been published on paper.
It includes establishments (hotels, restaurants, cinemas and theatres), parks and gardens, itineraries, car parking reserved for people with disabilities in possession of the European parking card and other types of services (river cruises, tourist bus, buses and Eurotaxis) which are accessible and practicable, in accordance with the parameters given in the Decree of Accessibility issued by the Junta de Andalucía, and clearly marking with a specific pictogram those which have information in Braille for the visually impaired. A postal address, contact telephone number, fax and web site are given in addition to the location on the map which is attached to the guide (it is found inside the back cover and can be removed and unfolded).
The "Guía de Turismo Accesible de la Ciudad de Sevilla" (Guide to Accessible Tourism in the City of Seville) can also be viewed on the Valinet web site.
