Salinas da Fonte da Bica
These are the only natural salt pans in Portugal. Located 30 kilometers from the sea, they have 400 tanks, from which salt is extracted from a depth of about 10 meters. Between May and September, the salt is collected, after the water (which contains about 200 to 300 grams of salt) is collected and evaporated after a week.
