Ibiza, Universally Accessible City and Tourism

For years Ibiza-Eivissa Town Council has been working on being a municipality universally accessible to all people, a city in which its citizens and visitors can get around the entire city safely and without difficulties.

With the aim of improving the quality of life of disabled people, all the rehabilitation work that is carried out is to improve the pavements and the levels of accessibility in streets throughout the city, removing architectural barriers in the streets, beaches and public buildings.

For people with limited vision, we are adapting traffic lights with audible signals. Furthermore we offer an accessible website, and with the collaboration of the ONCE (Spanish National Organisation for the Blind) we have prepared a tourist guide to the city and the menus of the restaurants in Braille.

A city without barriers: improving the quality of life of all the citizens and offering accessible, safe tourism to our visitors is a priority for the city of Eivissa.

At the Touristic Informaction Ofice, you can ask for the Tourist Guide Ibiza World Heritage for visual deficiency people. These guide is available in Catalan, Spanish, English and German.

Las MEDULAS, a World Heritage Cultural Landscape

Las Médulas is a Cultural Landscape, the result of the Roman intervention in the territory over two centuries and the changes experienced in this territory up to our time. Its importance, however, goes beyond the monumental remains of Roman gold mining, as it is the product of historical changes of all types that this exploitation and domination implied.
.
The inscription in December 1997 of Las Médulas in the List of World Heritage Sites meant the international recognition of a Cultural Landscape for the first time in Spain.
.
Today Las Médulas is a Bien de Interés Cultural (Cultural Interest Property) as an Archaeological Zone (1996) and, as a Natural Space, recently declared a Natural Monument (2002). But, above all, Las Médulas is a Cultural Park, a dynamic reality in which the fossilised remains are articulated within a living landscape, that of our time, leading the visitor of today’s territory to the ancient territory.
.
The Archaeological Information Centre, at the entrance to Las Médulas village, that was recently reformed for improving his accesibility for all, is the ideal complement to a visit to the area. Here one can find all the information necessary for an understanding of Las Médulas: the cultural landscape is placed into its historical context through maps, models and graphic reconstructions and offers another type of information that is difficult to show on site, such as mining tools or their use in the various phases of the mining system. There is also the projection of a video on the Archaeological Zone.
