What do we do in the Smart Villages team?
We implement advanced digital systems to improve tourism management and sustainable development.
“Smart Poqueira” is the name of the project on smart villages that we are currently developing in the villages of “el Barranco del Poqueira”, in the heart of the Alpujarra Granadina (Sierra Nevada Natural Park).
The main goal of the initiative is to foster ecotourism in the area through digitalisation, and through the installation of smart sensors and smart cameras that collect and analyse data. We have placed devices in roads and streets in the villages of Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira, and such devices enable us to collect information on the number of visitors and vehicles that access the area.
