Salt Valley

The Salt Valley is one of the most spectacular and best preserved inland saltworks in the world. Its value not only lies in its particular architecture or on its almost 6.500 years of history, or even in its geological features, biodiversity or landscape values, but in the union in perfect harmony of all of it in a privileged context. This Cultural Landscape is candidate to World Heritage List of the UNESCO and is listed under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland site of international importance

Reviewed By Hyoga83 - Bordeaux, France

Fascinating site, it feels like a totally different country when you are there looking at the terraces and the salt flats. The visit is really interesting, the hour flies by and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It costs 8€ and you can use the spa at the end. The site has 7000 years of continual use, until this century when salt was no longer so important for preserving food. Best moment to visit is within May and October, although if possible avoid the midday heat.
