DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION

These salt plains began as natural foamy, salty pools where, due to the aridity and the wind, the salt coagulated. Later they were transformed into the squared network of ponds and floodgates that we see today. In the deposits, there were five stages of evaporation until the salt became so concentrated that it precipitated on the bottom.

We will enjoy the observation of numerous birds, as well as the vegetation of salt plains and sandy areas. There are still remains of the salt infrastructures, highlighting the different stations for lifting the water to the salt plains, where the trail ends.

The path runs along the side closest to the coast and shows how the uninterrupted exploitation from the Phoenicians until 1987, marked the appearance and biological diversity of the landscape.
