Many of you probably know the island of Ibiza as a destination for summer holidays, sun, beach and also for its nightlife, in other words: partying. But the island is much more than that, it has a great cultural and architectural heritage, excellent gastronomy and wonderful Mediterranean forest landscapes.
In the industrial field, one stands out above all others, the extraction of salt, an industry that was already being exploited by the Romans and which for centuries provided work during the harvesting season for a significant number of Ibizans, more or less half of the island's population.
Aerial view of part of the evaporation ponds, in the foreground you can see that salt has already been extracted in one of them.
Another aerial view where you can see the different colours of the ponds due to marine bacteria.
In these pictures you can see a simulation of how the salt was collected. The photographs correspond to the annual event held to mark the end of the harvest, in which a dramatisation is made of what the work was like before mechanisation.
Unless stated otherwise, all the pictures and the words are mine.
