Mallorca Salt pans

Who would have thought that such a small particle could become so valuable, but the connection of Mallorca’s southeast with the world’s oldest condiment comes from afar. Phoenicians and Romans harvested salt in Es Trenc and La Colònia de Sant Jordi back in the fourth century BC, taking advantage of abundant seawater and ideal conditions to produce it naturally. Today these salt pans are part of an idyllic natural environment, a haven for birds and visitors who come to visit. Guided tours will introduce you to the scenic delights of the salt pans, their history and the manufacturing process of this “white gold”, rich in trace elements and much sought after by the most discerning of gourmets. Come and take a look for yourself!
