Over the centuries, the coastal salt marshes have been exploited by the various civilisations that have settled in the Mediterranean basin. From the times of the Phoenicians and up until the present day, the marshlands and salt marshes have been used to obtain a delicate crystal of immense economic significance: salt.
The Salines de Campos salt marshes, situated in the south-east of the island, cover almost 150 hectares, making them the largest on Majorca and offering visitors the chance to tour the area and learn at first-hand about the salt production process. A guided tour lasting almost 75 minutes provides a detailed insight into the water circulation and evaporation systems, as well as the magnificent flora and fauna that can be admired in the area. A fascinating tourist, culture and nature tour that will reveal the secrets of one of the island’s most famous products: fleur de sel salt.
