Las Foces Interpretative Centre
In Ireland they use this to refer to touristic draws such as:
Heritage Interpretative Centre
History Interpretative Centre
etc.
It's a new, tourist-focused way to present sightseeing actibvites (it provoked a lot of scorn from the population in general!). It frequently includes participative typr activities, videos, virtual recreation of events, sensations etc.
As per others, Las Foces seems like a place name

Comment: "Thanks, that's very interesting, as this centre does offer videos and various other activities, although they have asked me to translate "las foces" as ravines...
I appreciate your help,
Joanna"

Las Foces Visitor Center
"Las Foces" sounds like a proper name in which case it should be translated. My dictionary doesn't list "foz" but the best rendering of "hoz" that I can think of is ravine or defile. I have a lot of personal experience in environmental and conservation topics.

I pulled up the same page as Luis Luis did, but I agree with Jo that it does not refer just to the name of the place but to the ravines or gorges or the surroundings.... it is the natural habitat for the vultures....
Perhaps, it is a bit off, but you could translate it as "Environmental Interpretation Center" ?
just a thought!
Saludos. Maria ;o)
