Don't forget your camera.The salt pans are of various shapes and sizes. The area itself comprises of small handicraft shops selling salt and local pottery at very reasonable prices also some antique shops. There are also a few bars and restaurants in the village. There's a car park with the entrance next to the Chuarrasqueira Solar do Sal, where we enjoyed a meal. All in all definitely worth a visit. This place is suitable for all ages.

Reviewed By Pedro M - Cartaxo, Santarem, Portugal
Estas Salinas de Rio Maior, sem qualquer vislumbre de mar por perto, estão perfeitamente decoradas à época, sem modernismos, devidamente enquadradas com lojas típicas que vendem sal, flor de sal e outros artesanatos.
Na minha opinião só pecam pelo escasso estacionamento em horários mais concorridos e, ao contrário, pela quase desertificação em horários menos concorridos.
Poderia, talvez, haver um horário base, regular, que o visitante pudesse contar com alguém, por exemplo, que pudesse explicar o funcionamento das mesmas.
Os lojistas, na sua grande maioria, são pessoas muito simpáticas.
Aconselho a sua visita perto do Natal, altura em que estas Salinas se transformam num autêntico presépio de Sal.
