Discover Flor de Sal at Mallorca's most iconic salt flats.
Right next to the famous beach of Es Trenc, the historic salt flats of Mallorca invite you to discover an ancient landscape, shaped by the sun, wind and the Mediterranean. A tour of this eco-friendly spot allows you to learn about the traditional process of producing sea salt and flor de sal, and ends with a chance to taste it.
Just a stone's throw from the turquoise sea of Es Trenc spans a landscape that seems to be frozen in time. The Salinas d'Es Trenc, surrounded by dunes, seaside plant life and open sky, offer an immersive experience that connects nature, history and flavour. Walking among the salt pans, seeing the sun reflect on the mountains of salt and feeling the sea breeze is just the beginning of a tour of one of the most unique spots in the southeast of Mallorca.
The guided tour offers insight into the artisanal process of harvesting flor de sal, which is done by hand with pinpoint accuracy. Along the way, you'll learn about how the salt mines work, the delicate balance of the wetland and the role played by the wind and sun in producing this highly prized condiment. As you walk among the salt pans, you'll see flamingos and other migratory birds that find refuge here all year round, highlighting the ecological importance of this environment.
The end of the route offers a moment to stop and taste the salt. During these flor de sal tastings, the Mediterranean reveals itself in the form of delicate, bold, clean crystals. The crunchy texture and pure flavour of this salt, used by chefs all over the world, round off the visit with a sensation that's hard to forget.
