This is a photograph of an informational display about cities and salt, situated outdoors in Naval, Spain. The display is mounted on a wooden frame, with two vertical wooden posts supporting it. The background shows a dry, rocky hillside with sparse vegetation and a small wooden structure with a roof. The display itself features a map of Europe overlaid with various images and text.
