We continue with a walk through a charming fishermen's village with white houses along a long sandy beach, a real paradise for cats who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of fish!

A must see for all travellers. A vast mine 750ft deep. Well ventilated and lit and no cramped spaces. The guide Alex was fantastic and had exceptional knowledge around how the mine operates. I'd definitely recommend this tour as it's something out of the ordinary and a fascinating sight

Very good tour. Stunningly beautiful rocks and coastline line view from speedboat. Paulo was a good guide, liked his sense of humour. Will highly recommend.

Very interesting tour of an active salt mine with information and exhibition vehicles and machines from the past and present.
