It is within this framework that the initiative to create the Salobreña Estudios Locales Centre SEL (acronym for Selambina y Salobreña Estudios Locales) takes on relevance and becomes the tool that will structure and give meaning to heritage as a resource in our town. This Centre must ensure that the benefits obtained from the various elements of our Cultural Heritage are returned to the local community, either by improving and complementing the tourist offer or by promoting and disseminating its values. Without neglecting actions that facilitate these aims, such as conservation, restoration and protection, which must preserve it and guarantee its legacy for future generations.

Its objectives are the protection, conservation, restoration and enhancement of the rich cultural heritage of Salobreña. The actions and measures carried out result in visible social benefits, such as the promotion of tourism and dissemination on a social scale. The final beneficiaries are visitors to the town and, of course, the people of Salobreña.
