Short description of the event: 
We picked up a group of erasmus to take them to a wheelchair basketball game, so we had to take the various means of transport to the sports center Juan de la Cierva in Getafe, we were waiting for a game of basketball in a wheelchair. During the wheelchair game we were able to enjoy different moments of improvement of the players. We could also take pictures with the players, who were players of the Paraolimpico team of the Spanish team, who had won in the last Paralympics a silver medal.
We could also take a photo with the basketball player of the Spanish national team, who also supports this type of activities with disabilities. The teams were the CD Ilunion and BSR Getafe.
