Saline de Janubio

Salinas de Janubio is a salt flat in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain. It is the largest salt flat in the Canary Islands and a living museum of traditional salt extraction methods. The salt pans, varying in hues from white to pink to deep red, create a mesmerizing patchwork that contrasts starkly with the surrounding black volcanic terrain and the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The salt is harvested by hand, a labor-intensive process that reflects the dedication and skill of the local salt workers. The salt flats are a great place to visit, especially during sunset, when the light transforms the salt pans into a dazzling mosaic of colors. The area is also a haven for migratory birds and has been awarded the status of Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO
