Sobre
Fatos rápidos: 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.
Destaques: 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.
