Cabildo Lanzarote i La Graciosa publishes gastronomy accessibility guide

Cabildo Lanzarote i La Graciosa has published guidelines for bars and restaurants regarding the service of elderly people and people with disabilities. The document contains practical advice on physical and communication accessibility.

The guide includes recommendations such as providing paper menus instead of only QR codes. It advises maintaining clear paths for wheelchairs and informing customers about steps and uneven surfaces. It also emphasises the need to ask for consent before providing assistance, such as moving a wheelchair or a walking stick.

This initiative is jointly implemented by the departments of Social Welfare and Trade and Gastronomy. It aims to facilitate service for customers with physical, visual, hearing, intellectual, and psychosocial disabilities.
