Description

Add a touch of salt to your stay in Menorca by visiting the Salinas de la Concepción!

Built in the 19th century across an area of six hectares and restored in 2023, the Salinas de la Concepción are the only remaining vestige of the island’s salt-making tradition.

A breathtaking and inspiring place that offers a peaceful glimpse into the craft of harvesting Menorca’s unique fleur de sel.

Salt production was a key economic activity for the island for centuries, and although its use has declined, the salt flats remain a living testament to that era.

Explore the Salinas de la Concepción, learn about the processes of salt extraction and production, and discover how research, learning and observation have revived this traditional craft.

Learn the difference between fleur de sel and virgin sea salt, and discover the importance of the salt flats for the ecosystem and biodiversity.

Marvel at the natural beauty of the surroundings of the Port of Fornells from this vantage point and support the conservation of a cultural heritage of incalculable value.

In short, the Salinas de la Concepción in Menorca are not only a place of great natural beauty, but also a site of profound cultural interest.

We invite you to step into this space of tranquillity, where humanity meets nature to create a product of pure and magical flavour, which you can taste and purchase at La Casa de la Sal.
