Ok, then a car needs to be rented for both ways.

Ask for a hotel with adapted rooms to the extremadura people.
Somebody suggested in the wiki "the student place has one room designed for
handicapped people", i would not get my hopes on this...

Somebody added in the wiki: "Lunch will be inside the main accomodation which
is 500m from the venue.". This 500m can be done very easily in wheelchair.. or
not. And it is not nice to be at sun for long in the time we'll have lunch.
So need to ask abotu details here.

I am afraid we will not be able to solve this point until closer to debconf or
maybe even the week before debconf.

Ok, i am updating the wikipage with this under "Accessibility for people using
wheelchairs". Feel free to add more details, points to check, or stuff that
needs to be done.
If there is another issue about accessibility, please let's discuss it on the
list to see how to overcome it.
