Catalonia’s athletic tradition is known throughout the world, both for its capacity to organise international championships as well as for the high degree of specialisation of many towns and cities, which offer high quality resources and services to help athletes of all levels enjoy the pursuit of their hobbies. Moreover, the Pyrenees’ superlative meteorological and natural attributes, in addition to a number of high-quality tourism offerings and modern athletic facilities, give fame to these mountains and make them the ideal natural setting for elite athletes and professionals, hobbyists and tourists alike who wish to go on training retreats, participate in competitions or practice their favourite sports with everything they need. And they do so closely adhering to the values intrinsic to sport in the Pyrenees, such as equality, inclusion and accessibility, innovation and healthy life habits.

Adaptive Sport

Accessible and inclusive sport

Catalonia is a leading destination for accessible tourism in the state of Spain, with more than 1,100 tourist sites that have facilities for people with disabilities, reduced mobility and special needs.

To foster equality, inclusion and accessibility in sport, many towns and cities with athletic facilities have worked in recent years to eliminate architectural and communication barriers to make it easier for people with some disability to practice their favourite sport.
