For centuries, salt workers have been the heirs to and guardians of a unique heritage. A salt worker is a magician: he takes a drop of water and extracts a grain of salt.


The job of a salt worker is one of the few agricultural professions to use a technique that does not involve mechanisation or the addition of chemicals.

This traditional production technique is used to produce quality salt and preserve an outstanding environment.
