Salted Anan Valley in Northern Spain

Salt mining brings to many states a decent income, so in the city of Anan it was decided to create places for drying salt solutions.

The desire of local authorities to make money on salt led to the development of a number of unusual structures, mainly consisting of stamping terraces from stone, wood and clay.

Long network of channels from the tree every day transports water from salt sources to the salt pack.

The history of the Salado Salon Valley has more than six thousand years. The first large salt reservoirs were built in the days of the Roman Empire. They were a bath with raised edges made of rammed clay.

Later evaporating baths were built of wood. Currently, Salado Valley, you can see more than 2,000 salt baths.

Any salt deposits are more than 200 million years ago when this place was a vast ocean.

Most often underground salt deposits developed with the aid of mines, but there are natural sources that do take out the water from the depths.

The local saline solution has a concentration of up to 210 grams of salt per liter of water.

active salt production season varies each year depending on weather conditions. Most often, active salt mine begins in May and ends in September. At this time, there is less total precipitation, and the sun warms the particularly strong.
