Description

Salines de s'Avall is a historic salt works in Colònia de Sant Jordi in the south of Mallorca, producing sea salt using traditional methods and selling it direct to visitors at the entrance.

Traditional Salt Production

At Salines de s'Avall you can follow the stages by which sea salt is harvested, concentrated and processed. The site operates using traditional methods — the salt pans, the gradual ripening of the brine and the characteristic white mounds of salt awaiting packing are all visible to visitors. The salt works itself is not open to the public; the focus is on sales and an explanation of the process at the entrance building.

Flor de Sal & Salt Shop

At the entrance, the salt works sells its own products direct from the producer — including Flor de Sal in distinctive ceramic pots whose design and colouring many visitors find particularly appealing. The salt also makes a wonderful gift to take home. If you'd like to try before you buy, tasting is welcome.

The Landscape of the Salt Pans

The salt pans at Salines de s'Avall take on striking shades of pink, caused by microorganisms in the highly concentrated brine, which catch the light in a particularly dramatic way during the early morning and evening hours. The combination of sweeping salt flats, rose-tinted pans and towering salt mounds makes this one of the most visually unusual spots in the south of the island.

Location & Surroundings

The salt works is situated on Avinguda Primavera in Colònia de Sant Jordi (07638). The entrance can be a little tricky to find on your first visit, so it's worth noting down the address in advance.
