Users in Playa del Inglés have reported serious accessibility problems at one of the beach access points on Paseo de El Veril, caused by frequent elevator malfunctions.

The situation particularly affects individuals with reduced mobility, the elderly, or those who have difficulty moving around, who face significant obstacles in reaching the beach with adequate safety and autonomy.
The access in question is structured across two levels. On the first stretch, two elevators are intended to facilitate movement between these heights. However, complainants state that these lifts break down regularly, sometimes with one out of service, and at other times, both.
The issue is compounded on the second level, where another elevator reportedly has not been functioning normally, leaving those unable to use stairs or steep inclines without an accessible alternative.
From this point, the path to the beach involves several downhill sections—approximately three to four, according to users—which are considered excessive and difficult to navigate, especially for wheelchair users or the elderly.
Those affected emphasize that these conditions make access very challenging for older individuals and practically impossible for certain people with reduced mobility if the mechanical accessibility systems are not operational.
