Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities and therefore, I want to share a nice spanish initiative with you.It happened in 2011, but I have just known yesterday.
It is a new sensor system, placed in a part of the Park named "Castrelos", in Vigo (Southern Galicia, North-west of Spain).
The Castrelos Park, Vigo, Galicia, North-west of Spain.

The Sensory Garden, Castrelos, Vigo.
To facilitate the tours, visitors will have a ribbon blind-defining the travel guide and information about the natural obstacles to walk in the park safely.
It also provides data on species or unique architectural elements of interest in the garden, according to a note from the local corporation.
One of the most notable are the trays installed along the route where visitors can perceive through leaves, tree branches and fruits, seasonal variations or different natural areas Castrelos Park.
Apart from the touch, visually impaired people can learn these gardens by ear with the different sounds of the park or through the nose, with aromas of plants and trees in the so called 'herb garden'.
I hope that you can go there or to another area in Galicia, because all of Galicia is very nice.
Kind regards,
Luis.
