Subjects : Solar Power Towers are rare solar power plants (there are about ten in the world) that use a totally different principle from photovoltaics: in power towers, a huge series of concentric mirrors direct the light and heat of the sun in a single point, heating a liquid to over 500 degrees to drive a turbine. The effect of the sun's rays reaching the tower is unusual and picturesque, although they are not without criticism: birds that accidentally pass through the beam of light are incinerated instantly.

Recommended equipment : Standard zoom, tele zoom, tripod.

Best months : All year round.

How to get there : The Solar Power Tower Gemasolar cannot be visited, but it is possible to photograph it from a distance with a telephoto zoom. It is located along Spain's A-4 motorway, and can also be seen from the nearby village of La Campana.

Visits : As written above, you can not visit (and some of the roads that approach are not passable because private), however given the size it is possible to photograph it with a medium or long focal length.
