Salina Salina No Data

Description


The salt pans that gave the island its name and are still a key part of the economy of the island. Due to the low lying nature of the area the ground sits lower than the sea level and often fills up with sea water, this is left to stand in the baking Cabo Verde sun to drive off the water from the highly salty sea water to leave behind large crystals of salt. Very large crystals are piled up at the side of the pans and tourists are invited to take one or two for luck (a donation in either Escudos or Euros is welcomed)

Charge


Free, suggested donation if you wish to take a giant crystal
