There is an organisation called HelpDenia, which I understand has other branches, which supplies equipment for exactly this scenario they offered to help when my elderly mother was in need of a wheelchair. I no longer have their contact details, but a small amount of online research should yield results. Otherwise, in most Spanish towns there are specialist medical aid suppliers who would be more than willing to supply one for a price or I have seen them in charity shops. We eventually bought one for my mother through the Residencia in which she stayed for a time - it cost around 200 Eu, although whether that was a special deal I have no idea.

Via private messages I have given you my address and phone number.

Today, at 11:50 I came downstairs, opened the front entrance door and waited for you to arrive around midday. At 12:30 I have given up the wait.  I can only assume that you came to the wrong address.
