I was hoping that some people out there would be able to provide me with some information regarding disabled access in Menorca.
I am 25 years old and suffer from Brittle Bones so I am a wheelchair user and the due the nature of my disability I can not get out of my chair although I can manage to do side transfer i.e. in and out of taxis or onto sun loungers etc. I'm thinking of coming on holiday to Menorca next year Are there any other resorts that would be suitable for me to come to? I was particularly thinking of the following resorts:-Son Bou and Cala Galdana. My idea of a holiday is spending the days on the beach or going on a boat trip and nights would be going to bars to have a few drinks and watch some good entertainment. Not one for spending all night clubbing!!! Are there any beaches that are accessible for me i.e to transfer onto a sun lounger or is there anyway I could get in to the sea (in Palma Nova and Los Cristanos they had 3 wheeled chairs that could be wheeled into the sea). Would I be able to get into the bars/restaurants? Is the public transport accessible? Are there any boats trips that I would be able to go on. Also are there any public disabled toilets or would I have to use the facilities in the hotels.
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but as you can imagine it can be tricky planning a holiday when you are in a wheelchair, but any information that you can give me would be great.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Kind Regards,
Amy
Im sorry that I cant offer any real answers to your questions but I can give you the name of a brilliant website (other than this one of course :D) which is dedicated completely to Menorca. If you type "menorca-net" into google you will be given the link.
Like this site, there are loads of forums for the resorts on Menorca and all of the people that use the site are complete Menorca addicts, some are resident on the island. I am sure that if you post your questions there, you will get the kind of answers you need.
Happy hunting.
Sarah
