In the second episode of our Greencities S-Moving series, we travelled once again to Spain, in a town near Alicante: the Municipality of Salinas. We had the pleasure to discuss with Pablo Rodriguez, the Innovation Agent of Salinas, about the town's innovative projects, sustainability initiatives, and their goals for a better urban lifestyle.

From green energy and water treatment to hydrogen projects, we explored how smaller towns can embrace technology and collaboration for the benefit of their citizens.
