This exhibition is a project within a larger and more transversal one called 'Extremadura, Buenas Noches', on experiential and innovative tourism, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and recognized as the most creative project in Spain in 2022. Each viewpoint Celeste is located in a specific environment of Extremadura, with different rainfall, temperatures, orography and, therefore, with different flora and fauna.
