Biography
[edit]Solás was born in Madrid to a family of Andalusian origin and has three brothers. Her father was an engineer and her mother was a housewife. After leaving school, she studied journalism at the Universidad CEU San Pablo before working for a local newspaper. She later founded a publishing company with her husband focusing on publishing and distributing content in the auto sector and edited a local information magazine in her home municipality of Villaviciosa de Odón.[1][2]
Political career
