Accessibility

In order to make La Bassa Mar sustainable and economically accessible to those who need it most, we offer our space on a basis of different sliding scales, depending on the size of your group, your positionalities, and income.

We would like to be able to cover travel & accommodation for those who can’t afford it, but unfortunately it is not yet possible. Our project is still struggling financially, but we hope and are working to be able to do this in the future. However, no individuals will be turned away for lack of funds.

We have several fidget toys available in the house.
The space of the former garage as well as other areas can be designated as quiet spaces.
Our ground floor as well as the outdoor spaces are wheelchair accessible.

Currently:

• Much of the surrounding land is covered in pebbles and small rocks.
• There are two small steps (15 cm) to the terrace. From there, there is one 20 cm step into the kitchen, and one 8 cm step into the living room
• There is one 11 cm step from the living room into the dining room, and one 20 cm step from the dining room to the downstairs bathroom and bedrooms.
• We have portable ramps for all of them
• The stairway to the second floor has 15 steps of 20 cm each.

Occasionally, in the hotter months, there can be waves of odour from the sewage treatment plant nearby. 

Noise: Due to the wind circulation it’s possible to hear some of the highway traffic near La Bassa Mar. Moreover, depending on the season, sometimes we can hear shooting sounds. Unfortunately in Catalunya it is not forbidden to hunt animals in different periods of the year.

There is wifi access in most of the house, but it is not the strongest. The data and mobile phone reception in the area, however, is quite strong. We suggest for people who require reliable internet connection to plan accordingly with their own devices and data plans. 

All information on La Bassa Mar and the surrounding area is available in Arabic, English, Catalan, French, German, and Spanish. If you require information or to communicate with us in other languages, please let us know. 

We’re continuously adapting to make La Bassa Mar a more accessible space for people with diverse needs.
