Beskrivning

This is a 16th Century salt pans network built by the Knights of St John. Now it houses a new visitors' centre with information about the history, salt making and nature. Special attention has been taken to make this site interesting and educational for children.

The area is composed mainly of salt pans, together with a small saltmarsh, a garrigue area and a small woodland. It is mostly renowned as the best area on the island to view many different species of gulls such as medelhavstrut, svarthuvad mås and skrattmås. Other common birds to see include the Silkeshäger and the drillsnäppa.
