The project was part of the Ciudades Singulares Program, an initiative of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade within the Plan Avanza that continued the Ciudades Digitales Program, which aimed to deploy and promote the information society in small municipalities.

The project's objectives were:

• To facilitate citizens' and businesses' access to technology.
• To extend the use of ICT through training and to promote the inclusion and participation of all citizens in the information society.

The project was structured around the following areas:
