The Alhambra has a limited zone accessible by visitors with reduced mobility. About 50% of the entire area is accessible for disabled visitors. While 30% of the area is accessible with help from others. This part is challenging since there are a lot of obstacles to get around. The remainder 20% remains unaccessible for visitors with disabilities. The Patronato of the Alhambra is currently working into getting more areas accessible by wheelchair.
