Über uns

With a History over eight centuries old, the Rio Maior Salinas constitute an authentic living museum where the way to collect the salt is the same as the Romans used two thousand years ago, getting the best artisanal salt.

The Rio Maior Salinas are the result of a whim of nature. A saline source of salt mine, extensive and deep, crossed by an underground stream, feeds a well from which water is extracted seven times saltier than the Atlantic Ocean. The oldest document known is dated 1177, but it is thought that the use of rock salt would is made since pre-history. Come and discover with us the daily life of Salineiro and learn from this professional some techniques still used today in the process of collecting artisanal salt.
