Over
Korte feiten: Thousands of shallow basins fill the rocky shore, where salt is harvested by hand using traditional methods. This ancient practice continues each summer under the scorching Maltese sun, creating a shimmering white pattern along the coast.
Hoogtepunten: The salt pans reflect the sunlight like a giant mirror, creating surreal sparkling pools that change colors through the day. Local salt collectors wear wide-brimmed hats and use wooden rakes to harvest salt crystals, preserving a centuries-old tradition.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes to navigate the uneven rocky terrain safely.
- Visit during low tide when more pans are clearly visible and accessible.
- Carry sun protection like a hat and sunscreen since shade is rare.
- Photograph the pans at golden hour for dazzling reflections and colors.
