Salt mines of Fuencaliente

These salt mines are located in the Canary Island of La Palma. They were placed there around 50 years ago. One of the interests of this place is the fact that they are placed over the Teneguía volcan dry lava. This is Scientific Interest Site where little crystal salt is produced in between volcanic stones. This landscape offers a magical contrast of shapes and colours. Black, white and the blue of the ocean melt to let you enjoy a beauty scenery so many people are willing to visit.

Montaña de la Sal de Cardona

They are probably the most famous salt mines in Spain. They used to be one of the most important ones in the whole world. They are considered an interesting natural spot because of their extraordinary natural characteristics. They helped Cardona to develop its industry. After closing the salt mines, the area was opened to tourism as a Natural Park where visitors can learn about the history of the valley and how everything worked. You can even go inside the galleries and explore them.

The Montaña de la Sal is located in the south of the urban region of Cardona, around 2.5 kilometres far from our Parador de Cardona, a beautiful medieval castle where you can spend some unforgettable nights as if you were back in the Middle Ages. How do you feel about it?
