Access
The Boqueria Market has several easily accessible entrances. Only one entrance, on Carrer de les Cabres, has flights of steps making access difficult for people with reduced mobility.
Itinerary
The itinerary inside the market provides unimpeded access. There is just one small area with a slight slope (of 3.3%), but wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility can move around easily.
There is a toilet on the lower ground floor which can be reached by lift or a flight of stairs.
The adapted lift meets all the requirements inside the cabin and on the outside landings. The lifts have Braille and tactile buttons, although there are no tactile signs on the landings.
Toilet
There is a toilet on the lower ground floor which can be used by people in wheelchairs. It is usually closed to the public. A member of the maintenance staff who works permanently in this area will open the toilet upon request.
The toilet presents a series of accessibility problems. The main one being that there is no grab bar in the toilet cubicle, making it difficult for wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility to transfer to the toilet. Accessibility is further hindered by the fact that the lavatory door opens inwards. However, the cubicle is spacious and wheelchair users can manoeuvre inside without too many difficulties.
Alternative communication systems
Information about the market is available on its website.
