Being a salt maker for a day is possible at the workshop on traditional salt pans, which takes place on the 14th of August, in Castro Marim.
The initiative, organized by the Odiana association, includes a tourist visit to the salt pans, with the right to collect handmade salt and flower salt and use the saline spa.
This “is the ideal opportunity to discover the traditional knowledge used for centuries in the extraction of salt, and finally, to feel nature in the salt pans”, says Odiana.
It will also be possible to «know how salt is produced, on a tourist visit that offers the possibility of collecting salt and salt flower, by hand». And, to complete this experience, the «saline spa to relax and balance energies: a floating bath of mineral salts and application of saline clay» can be used.
The time for this initiative will be from 16:00 pm to 20:00 pm, at Salina da Barquinha, in Castro Marim, organized by Odiana.
For now, the association has opened a form for pre-registration, which runs until August 9, which can be filled out. here
