 Hello one and all,

My name is Eddie and i've been in a wheelchair for 14 years now and have decided that I don't want to put up with cold Scottish winters anymore. So i'm looking around and saw a really nice place I like but am not going to let my heart rule my head, after all it is a major decision for me.

I'm looking for somewhere that doesn't have frost and snow and read that December-January ranges from 10-17 degrees which would be good but then I read someone else say it was minus temperatures in this period at nights, so what is correct? If it's minus don't bother reading the rest as I won't be moving there :)

Is there a good medical service, hospital, doctor, pharmacy in the area and would I have to have medical insurance?

Are shops and restaurants generally wheelchair friendly?

Not bothered about bus services as I would have my own transport. I will also try my hardest to learn enough Spanish too so that i'm not predominantly stuck in a "Little Britain" either, i'd like to be able to just fit in as easily as possible, maybe a "Little Britain" area would be the way to go. 

I know wheelchair users all flock to Tenerife, GC etc but i'd rather be on the mailand with the option to travel wherever I wanted too with no restrictions of a small island.

Any information or suggestions as to whether this area would be suitable at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou, Eddie
