Our commitment to the environment

The Center received € 24000 from the Autonomous Government of Catalonia and 16600 € from the Government of Spain to install solar energy panels. These now enable a savings of 70% in the cost of hot water. We also use energy saving light bulbs and detectors and the garden has been designed using local plants that require little water.
