allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <h3>La Plataforma Solar de Almería, the largest solar energy research centre in Europe, opens its Doors to you.</h3> <p>This centre contributes to spreading the knowledge acquired by PSA exploration since it was opened 25 years ago, and for this it has convenient opening hours, comfortable facilities, and a completely organised theoretical and practical visit to help you understand solar energy applications and their future. </p> <figure><img src="images/foto2.jpg"></figure> <p>A visit to the PSA is obligatory for anyone interested in the energy issue and who wishes to know more about solar energy as a clean, plentiful energy resource. </p> <figure><img src="images/foto3.jpg" width="600"></figure> <p> Visits to our Centre are especially recommended for school field trips, as our explanations are educational and easy to understand, for associations and groups because of the importance energy savings has today and even for tourists as an alternative leisure-entertainment technique for raising awareness of renewable energies, and in our case, solar power. </p> <figure><img src="images/foto4.jpg" width="600"></figure> <p>Visit us! And discover the energy of the future.</p> <p>Here you can see the chapter "Plataforma Solar de Almer铆a" from "Descubre con Tadeo Jones":</p> <div class="video"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J4RBybA9lsk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <p>And clicking on the picture below you can download the current triptych of the Plataforma Solar de Almería:</p> <figure><a href="triptico_PSA.pdf" target="_blank"><img src="images/triptico.png" width="360"></a></figure> <hr> <figure><a href="https://fundaciondescubre.es/"><img src="/images/logo_fundacion_descubre.jpg" width="450"></a></figure> </article> <hr> <article> <h4>El Centro de Visitantes de la Plataforma Solar de Almer铆a obtiene el sello de Turismo Cient铆fico.</h4> <img src="images/sello_turismocientico_2023_transparente.png" width="260"> </article> </section> <!-- #EndEditable --> </div> </div> <footer> <footer class="caja"> <img src=/images/phone.png align=left width="60"><p>+34 950 387 900</p> </footer> <footer class="caja"> <img src=/images/mail.png align=left width="60"><p><a href="mailto:info@psa.es">info@psa.es</a></p> </footer> <footer class="caja"> <img src=/images/address.png align=left width="60"><p>Ctra. de Senés km. 4,5<br> Tabernas (04200)<br> Almería</p></footer> <br clear="all"> <a href="https://twitter.com/psaciemat"><img src="/images/twitter.png" width="40"></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/plataformasolardealmeria"><img src="/images/facebook.png" width="40"></a> <a href="https://es.linkedin.com/company/psaciemat"><img src="/images/linkedin.png" width="40"></a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@plataformasolardealmeria"><img src="/images/youtube.png" width="40"></a> <div align="center"> <br> <span>Plataforma Solar de Almería</span><br> <div id="piemap">| <a href="/en/legaldocument.php">Legal Document</a> |</div> </div> <div id="overbox3"> <div id="infobox3"> <p>We use our own and third-party cookies (Google Analytics) to collect statistical information and about your preferences by analyzing your browsing habits.
