Work and passion - This checked sea is already fascinating in its own right, but visiting it and listening to how what we consider the most banal of foods is born and arrives here is truly unmissable. If then the explanation is held by those who evidently love all this then perfection is achieved. Thank you.

Visit to the Salt Museum - We found the mill fantastic. The guide prepared, attentive, nice. In the little time we spent together, thanks to his stories, he passed on the passion, effort and extraordinary activity handed down from grandfather to grandchildren. Beautiful tour we absolutely recommend!!!

A charming, instructive experience - The grandchildren of the founder guided us to visit the museum and the basins for the production of salt. The museum displays the old tools and gives an idea of the hard working conditions of the past. Walking along the basins one can observe the different colours of water depending on salt concentration, which increases up to the point that allows salt harvesting. A charming, instructive experience.

Experience not to be missed - The visit to the museum and the salt pans was very interesting, beyond my expectations. The owners know how to transmit great passion in addition to their knowledge and family history and territory.

Expendable - We lacked more information, we marched and x the seen had not finished the tour, maybe I did not read or better I did not understand . Since they do not perform in Spanish. That's if they called me back to the place. But lack of information and organization
