Centenary culture with a salty taste

The Salinas del Carmen Salt Works and Salt Museum are one of the most special living
witnesses to the history of Fuerteventura. They were founded back in the 18th
century and still exist thanks to the salt workers, who produce in sight of the visitors
one of the richest salts in the world under the traditional method, giving as a result a
foamy salt very appreciated in the gastronomic sector.

The visit is unavoidable: the museum is located in a setting of great beauty, with the
salt pans on the shore of the sea, the salt piles and the huge skeleton of a whale as background; an interactive museum full of curiosities, a restaurant with top views and
menu… and a shop so you can take home a piece of Fuerteventura in the way of salt.
