Barcelona helps disabled beachgoers frolic in waves
The Peninsula
BARCELONA: Seven-year-old Max Segui has a huge smile on his face as his father carries him ashore at Barcelona's Nova Icaria beach after a splash in the sea.
Segui has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, making beach trips difficult, but today he is using a special service run by the Barcelona city hall which has helped thousands of disabled beachgoers. It includes amphibious chairs, purpose-designed dressing rooms complete with a lifting crane, and nine specially trained lifeguards to help users access the water and enjoy the waves.
