Santiago Guide for the handicapped.

[Rosina Lila]

Hello you all,
Ibermutuar, a workers' collective composed of professionals that tend to
safety on the job, accidents at work, etc., has published a guide for physically
handicapped pilgrims.
The guide contains information about accessibility and other matters of
interest to pilgrims with physical handicaps, including albergues and restaurants
with special facilities.
The guide covers the French Way and focuses on those sections that may pose
particular difficulties.
It also contains suggested stages of 8 kilometers per day, with information
about allergies and other resting or sleeping facilities at the end thereof.
Three pilgrims that traversed the French Way on wheelchairs participated
directly in the preparation of the guide which, at present, is only available in
Spanish, but which is being translated into French and German.
The guide was sponsored, and funded, by the Caixa Galicia (a bank), the ONCE
foundation ("once" means eleven in Spanish and it is a foundation for the
assitance of those who are blind), and the Fenosa Union.
If you want to learn more about it, or obviation a copy, you may send a
message to
                    juancarlossanchezaibermutuamur.es
(The Ibermutuamur collective also has its own webpage.)
Warm regards,
Rosina
