Creepy Halloween Family at Poble Espanyol

Poble Espanyol offers several opportunities for tactile exploration, including handicrafts made and sold on site and outdoor works in the Fran Daurel Foundation’s Sculpture Garden.

The main entrance has a slight slope but is manageable for wheelchair users. Most of the site is accessible, although the steep slopes of Montjuïc can make getting around more challenging. In the Andalusian Quarter, the cobbled streets can also make wheelchair access difficult. Ramps and lifts have improved accessibility across much of the site, although some shops still have steps at their entrances due to the historic nature of the buildings. Accessible toilets are available near Plaça Major and in the Monastery area.

In 2004, the Artesà and ASPASIM foundations set up a therapeutic crafts workshop at Poble Espanyol. Located in Plaça Major, it welcomes groups of up to 12 people aged 18 to 65, accompanied by an instructor. Activities include macramé, sewing, painting, ceramics and jewellery making. The workshop aims to promote the social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. It provides opportunities to learn practical skills, offers alternatives to work and leisure activities, and helps break down social barriers.
