Does anyone know if it is possible to rent wheelchairs while visiting Madrid (and other parts Spain)?

Are the typical tourist places accessible?

I can walk but get tired easily. I would probably enjoy wandering the Prado for instance if when I got tired I could sit down and have my husband push me.

I have been to Spain many years ago and was able to walk everywhere. NOw I am afraid I won't be able to. I want to be able to wander the small neighborhoods where tourist don't go and also see the touristy parts again too.

Any suggestions? confused

Thanks,

See my post (and others) in the Spanish-language version of your topic post.

I think you'll find that Spain is less wheelchair-accessible than many places. Although they are improving many areas, there is still some progress to be made.
