An activist and driving force behind Las Kellys, an association that has sought to dignify the working conditions of hotel chambermaids since 2014.

Trained as a teacher in Peru, she was unable to get her degree officially recognised when she came to Spain in 1992 and so she worked as a carer for older people and in cleaning. Later she specialised in the hygiene and cleaning of hotel rooms, where she became aware of the precarious working conditions of her colleagues. To improve the working conditions, she founded Las Kellys to secure professional recognition of this sector. In 2018, the Catalan Parliament approved the proposal from the Las Kellys union of Catalonia to create a Fair and Quality Work Seal to guarantee decent working conditions. Despite the fact that it was approved, this certification has not yet been implemented.

The Europa Fira stop connects the city with the Fira de Barcelona pavilions, shopping areas and hotels that accommodate thousands of tourists each year.
