This area is also known internationally for its clear skies, as their lack of clouds and the distant light pollution have become the world capital of astronomy.Climatic conditions have favored the development of Unconventional Renewable Energies, such as solar, wind and geothermal exploration; well lead to a unique phenomenon in the world, the flowering desert.
