Nin Salt Works
Solana Nin
A traditional salt pan that still uses ancient Roman methods of sun-drying salt, with a salt museum and guided tours. Flower of salt makes a good souvenir.
Salt has been made at Nin since Roman times, and it is still produced by hand, relying on sun and sea breezes, with nothing added. The works has a small museum that explains how seawater concentrates and crystallizes through successive pans. In summer you can watch workers harvest the salt. The site is also a habitat for waterbirds. The shop sells sea salt and flower of salt, a good souvenir to take home. Guided tours cost extra.
