Disabled People Traveling around Spain

Dear Sir,
I am a belgian wheelchairer who sometimes travels alone.Do you have some brochure or other info about help/other facilities for disabled people. E.g. guidance from the airport till the airplane.So, I plan to fly from Alicante to Barcelona, somewhere in September. How and where should I ask for help at the departure in Alicante and the arrival at Barcelona and vice versa.If you have some other interesting information in this regard, e.g. accessible appartments, bungalows, hotels, transfer to lodgement, accessible public transport, accessible museums and other places of interest and how to get there.... I would be very grateful.Maybe, there are some special organizations in Spain who help disabled people or tourist to find the most appropriate accommodation and visits during their stay in your country.Yours faithfully
Annie Van Thienen

Hi Annie
It is very difficult for you to get information on this.
Basically at EVERY SPANISH airport that I ahve been to there is a trolley car and a driver waiting at the airplane to take disabled passengers to the luggage area.
It is down to your airline to make sure that you are given assistance.
Apartments etc i dont have any information on BUT here is the official Tourist Website for Spain, I am sure that someone there can help you...
