In August 2024 I was lucky enough to travel to Malaga, Spain, with two of my close friends. As an ambulatory wheelchair user with a chronic illness, every trip like this takes careful planning, and this is part of the reason why I choose to share my adventures online. So, welcome to Malaga By Wheelchair!
Watch the vlog on YouTube to find out about:
- My experience of booking and using passenger assistance at Leeds Bradford Airport and Malaga airport, including using the airport wheelchair/buggy
- Renting an electric wheelchair from a provider in Malaga rather than travelling with my own
- Probably one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had at Vincci Hotels in Malaga city centre, and a look at their accessible room
- Managing multiple food allergies when eating out and the allergy translation cards I use
- Moving around the area as a wheelchair user and general accessibility when out and about (spoiler alert – it really exceeded my expectations!)
- What we got up to during our three-night stay, including a trip to one of Malaga’s lovely beaches, the modern art museum, the Roman Ampitheatre, and more
The video begins with a vlog of our time in Malaga, and then I sit down to chat about my experiences and share my tips and advice. The video is timestamped so you can skip straight to the bits you need if vlogs aren’t your thing!
As always, let me take the opportunity to emphasise that I’m just one person with my own unique access needs, and definitely don’t represent or speak for every disabled person. However, if you’re thinking about booking a similar trip, I hope you find the video helpful. If you enjoyed this one, you might be interested in my Barcelona vlog, or my other UK travel vlogs too!
