OVER 10,000 towns and cities around the world - including 223 in Spain - joined in the WWF 'Planet Hour' last night (Saturday) and put their lights out between 20.30hrs and 21.30hrs mainland Spain time (19.30hrs and 20.30hrs in the UK and Canary Islands).
A total of 172 countries joined the ninth annual campaign to raise awareness of global warming - more than ever this time around, since 2015 is the year of the Climate Change Summit in Paris when governments from all over the world will reach new agreements on how they intend to act to slow down the process.
In Spain, famous monuments were plunged into darkness including the iconic Mosque in Córdoba (pictured), the ultra-modern Sagrada Família cathedral in Barcelona, the Torre de Oro ('Golden Tower') in Sevilla and the city wall in Ávila, Castilla y León.
