salt-making

During the last few winters, snow and ice have paralysed Central Europe for days and sometimes weeks. Lorries from all over Europe transport up to 60,000 tons of salt a month from Súria (Bages County) to spread on roads throughout the continent. The mines have tripled production in the last 2 years and are the largest of Southern Europe.

The only salt evaporation pond that exists in Catalonia is located in the Delta de l?Ebre, in the south of Catalonia, a production area with more than eight centuries of history. In the past years, it has focused on producing very high-quality salt.
