la alhambra in spain
 

I have a disability and walk with a cane. Will there be too may steps for me to handle. Also would it be possible to bring my scooter. Need an overview of the place so I know what I"m up against Thanks

The attached link is a map depicting the wheelchair accesible route in La Alhambra. As long as you stay within that route your scooter will be useful.

ooppps!!...and the link is http://granadainfo.com/entradaalhambra.htm#disab

By the way, you can borrow a wheelchair at the entrance ticket gate.

I took a wheelchair-bound relative there last year. Only a small area is accessible to a wheelchair user, with ramps etc. In the Nazrite Palaces, only the ground floor is accessible, and there are lots of steps to get to the Generalife and steep steps up to the Alcazaba and within. You can't bring a scooter. It was the least disabled-friendly sight in Andalucia, but you can't help it because of the architecture and layout. If you have an escort, I suppose you can explore the upper floors of the Nazirite Palaces, but remember it's a big place and a lot of walking is involved.

Hi Phyllis,

i agree that the Alhambra may be very difficult for you - the buildings and the gadens, especially the generalife, are on many levels.

However, we went to Seville a month ago, and were very pleasantly surprised by the Alcazar. there are far fewer people, and it is mostly on one level and that is pretty flat. it is also very beautiful. the city is pretty flat too. just a thought that it might suit you better!

Phyllis-- again there is a wheelchair accesible route in La Alhambra. Most of the buidlings and a large area are out of bounds but it is not completely inaccessible......
