Of course not... I think that is the concept of accesibility most of people
had here like 20 years ago :) The concepts have changed deeply, thankfully.
To the important stuff:
I have found a website specialized in accesibility for people with wheelchair
[1] with a listing the hotels/hostals/houses/ in different towns of spain.
They have done some research and they complete with the information with
feedback from their readers.
The listing for Cáceres includes several places [2], but the only important
ones for us are the mentioned under "HOTELES CAPITAL" and "OTROS".
I think the most interesting one is the "RESIDENCIA COCEMFE" [3]. COCEMFE means
"Confederacion Española de Personas con discpacidad Física y Orgánica",
apparently they have several "residencias" accross spain that are ready
totally accesibility ready.
So Otavio and other people with accessbility issues if you complete the list
