We Are Accessible
Our Tourism Secretariat, located in Plaza Cívica, has been recognized for participating in and complying with the Accessibility Guidelines for Tourist Spaces and Services (a set of recommendations and technical guidelines designed to ensure quality, safety, inclusion, and continuous improvement in the tourism sector).
We have ramps at both entrances, sliding doors, an adapted family bathroom, a desk for priority assistance, and parking spaces for people with disabilities near the office entrance. We also have a haptic or tactile map that helps people with disabilities or visual impairments locate the most important points in our city.
In addition, our website allows users to customize their navigation by adjusting contrast, font type and size (for people with dyslexia or reduced vision), and by removing animated elements.
