In Santiago del Teide, accessibility is a principle that guides the development of the municipality. The objective is clear: to ensure that anyone, regardless of their physical, sensory, or intellectual condition, can enjoy the natural, cultural, and coastal heritage safely and independently.
Through various infrastructure and service initiatives, the municipality is moving towards an inclusive tourism model that prioritises the removal of physical barriers and the adaptation of its spaces. Accessibility is not limited to specific points but is part of a comprehensive approach applied throughout the territory.
Accessible nature and coastline
Santiago del Teide has adapted facilities that allow access to the natural and coastal environment. Beaches such as Los Guíos and La Arena have ramps, walkways, and accessible showers, as well as amphibious chairs for assisted bathing, crutches and hammocks adapted to the environment. All of this guarantees an accessible, safe and comfortable experience for people with reduced mobility.
The municipality also has sections of adapted trails that enhance the experience of those who wish to explore natural areas at their own pace, with technical support and favourable conditions. In addition, some activities, such as whale watching and kayaking, are carried out with inclusive options thanks to the collaboration of specialised companies.
Culture and heritage without barriers
Access to cultural heritage is also part of this commitment. Spaces such as the Parish Church of San Fernando Rey and the Cha Domitila Pottery Centre and Ethnographic Museum have been adapted to facilitate access and movement for people with reduced mobility, promoting equal cultural participation.
Accessibility in urban and cultural settings allows residents and visitors to enjoy the municipality’s main historical and traditional resources without restrictions.
A genuine commitment to inclusion
Accessibility in Santiago del Teide is organised as a cross-cutting strategy. The municipality is committed to continuous improvement, adapting facilities, updating signage and collaborating with social organisations to broaden the scope of its actions.
This shared vision allows the destination to evolve towards a more inclusive model, in which anyone can fully participate in its tourist, natural and cultural offerings.
