The Salt Mountain is a unique natural phenomenon in the world and is still growing while being eroded by the rain. Its 120 meters are just the tip of an enormous diapir nearly two kilometres deep. Lasting an hour, you will go down to a depth of 86 meters and enjoy the spectacle of shapes and textured features of the salt massif. The Salt Mountain Cultural Park also offers the visitor the option to walk through the old mining facilities. Beneath the imposing feature of the winding tower of the old mine shaft Maria Teresa lies the museum area: an open-air area that explains the history of the explotation of salt, the geology, the minerology and botany of this Area of Natural Interest, the Salt Valley of Cardona. The visitor can also see the shaft's mining machinery, which is a very good example of industry archaeology dessigned by Alsthom (currently Alstom) during the 1920s. A photographic exhibition can be seen in the basement. The old carpenter's workshop and the room where all the machinery used to be repaired house the Salt Handicraft Centre, Art-Sal and the exhibition Memory of the women from the mining neighborhood. We can also find there "La Cafeteria" with outdoor seating. At the reception, you can find "La Botigueta", a little shop with a wide selection of products and bibliography about Cardona.

If you look at the website it seems to imply that access to the castle is only on official guided tours at pre-booked times. This isn’t entirely accurate - the official guided tours get you access to a couple of extra places in the castle. The rest of it is entirely free to access. Part of the castle is a Parador, and the café run by them at the very top is very nice - good service and good food. The castle is pretty huge, and bits of it are in better repair than others. There are very few places you can’t go, even if there are warning signs which don’t bar you from entry, just telling you to be extra careful. If you walk up from the town, it’s a brisk climb, but well worth it. Glad we did it.
