A visit to Las Salinas de Janubio might yield one of the most mind-blowing experiences in Lanzarote. Salt is such a commonplace ingredient of our daily bites that we all tend to overlook its significance. Yet, to literally see this genuine empire of salt which is Las Salinas de Janubio is particularly surprising precisely due to the contrast between our usual ignorance as to salt and the power salt actually has in terms of preserving and helping life evolve, in yielding an economy and, hence, a history and an entire culture. The sea salt in Las Salinas de Janubio offers a real instructive show no one should miss once in Lanzarote.
