This exhibition was first held in 2010 in San Esteban de Cuñaba (1990 Exemplary Town of Asturias Award).

Created in 1990 to mark the 10th anniversary of the Prince of Asturias Foundation, the Exemplary Town of Asturias Award is bestowed with a cash prize of twenty-five thousand euros and has a different nature and features to the Prince of Asturias Awards.
