Pilar, works in the tourism sector

»I want to make Spain's beauty and treasures around Madrid accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. I want to show that there are no differences between people with and without disabilities.
I worked many years in the state tourism sector and I saw that something was missing. Therefore I started my own business with a colleague one and a half years ago and now I work for private foundations. There was a demand for people doing what I do, and in this regard we have developed our concept.
We would like to explore the mountains and the local environment so that people with disabilities can go there, too. The government always announces that this would be too expensive but we are convinced that there are also opportunities to achieve something without a large investment.
We arrange personal events, we organize workshops and walking-tours. My main interest and expertise is botany hence I often plan green walks showing rare plants. In addition I work in the scientific sector. We try to cooperate with similar movements.
Even if I have to fight a lot for my project and it is uncertain what will happen next, I see the future generally positive. I'm satisfied with myself, although I my work won't make me rich.«
