Description

​Salinas del Carmen has a working renovated salt pan museum ( Museo de la Sal), a few houses, a church and a restaurant which surrounds the fishing boat harbour and small beach. The sea reveals rock pools at low tide attracting wading birds and gulls. This is a known area for a pair of Faucon de Barbarie and can be visited in conjuction with Barranco de la Torre just a little further along the coastline. Typical birds here are Courlis corlieu , Aigrette garzette , Chevalier aboyeur , Chevalier gambette , Combattant varié , Grand Gravelot , Petit Gravelot , Échasse blanche , Goéland leucophée , Goéland brun to mention a few.

Informations supplémentaires

Best visited at low tide when the sea has revealed rock pools which the wading birds explore for food. Entrance to the museum is €6, we didnt go in becuse its not why we were there, you can walk around the outside of the salt pans without going inside and also use the restaurant without paying to enter the museum which we did as the restaurant near the beach was closed.
