The museum in the Fuerteventura salt is near the town of Antigua, in the Salinas del Carmen. Admission is $ 5, and you get a sticker that allows you to walk around and watch the salt salt occurs, talk to people who work there of their work and working methods that have not changed much in centuries . The process is still quite traditional, and that explains why there is less salt than before in the Canary Islands, since labor is more expensive than in other coastal countries in Africa or Asia for example. The town of Antigua is located on the east coast of the island, is one of the most populated region in addition, then the price of land rises, and salt producers are tempted to sell their land, which then become resorts.
The Salinas del Carmen began to produce salt in 1800. In the museum you teach the salt extensions Fuerteventura before and today as well as those of the other Canary Islands. Learn about the importance of salt, eg before the wages were paid with salt, hence the word salary, allowed salt to preserve meat and other foods, bread and the price was very high. It is an interesting museum that I recommend, especially with children.
