Disabled Visitors Algarve The southern Portuguese region of the Algarve is located on the Atlantic Ocean shores and features gorgeous beaches and a lovely local culture that offers so much for holiday travellers to enjoy. There is much to do for all types of holiday-goers, including those with mobility concerns. The small towns around the region feature narrow roads and walkways that may cause a bit of concern for persons in wheelchairs or walkers. Over the past year, the Regional Algarve Tourist Board (ERTA) has made efforts to make the Algarve more disabled-friendly. The resorts and shops across the region have made improvements to allow people with disabilities to enjoy all the great fun that other tourists enjoy. There are a good number of options for lodging with accessible rooms, restrooms, and public areas now, which means that this no longer needs to be a worry. Museums are a great excursion that can accommodate disabled guests. Local favourites include the Casa Museu Jose Cercas (featuring art from the local born painter) in Aljezur, the Roman bathhouse ruins and museum of Estacao Arqueologica do Cerro da Vila in Vilamoura, and the archaeological museum in the city of Albufeira, which features items from the history of the city dating back as far as the prehistoric era through to the seventeenth century. There are many cultural and historical sites worth visiting in the Algarve region. Among them are the Santa Maria Church and the Lagos‘s Wall in Lagos, Silves Castle, the Castelo de Almoada in Albufeira, and the Capela dos Ossos in the Igreja do Carmo church of Faro, which is decorated with the bones from 1,200 former monks. Car hire in Algarve is an ideal option for people with special mobility needs. Car hire in the airport is the most convenient way to arrange for transport when travelling with a disabled person in your party. With advanced notice, car hire agencies can set up an accommodating vehicle with a larger boot or cargo area to fit in walkers and wheelchairs.
