Access

The ideal way to visit is by bicycle. But of course, you can also walk. From the Casines neighborhood, in Puerto Real, there are two entrances. The best is next to the bridge that gives access to the highway. A dirt road parallel to the railway skirts the salt flats until it reaches the Salina de la Esperanza. As a complement, it is good to know that it is a route that overlaps with the Via Augusta and connects Roman sites.

Espagnol: Visitas concertadas pueden acceder en auto. Lo ideal es bicicleta. Desde la barriada de Casines, en Puerto Real, hay dos accesos. El mejor se encuentra junto al puente que da acceso a la autovía. Un camino de tierra paralelo al ferrocarril bordea las salinas hasta llegar a la Salina de la Esperanza. Como complemento es bueno conocer que es un trazado que se solapa con la Vía Augusta y conecta yacimientos romanos.
