La Salinas del Carmen, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands

Ian Cook 4/2/165:00 AM

The Fuerteventura Salt Museum is located beside the El Carmen Salt Pans (just south of Caleta de Fuste). The actual Salt Pans themselves date back to the early 20th century and are maintained and still used to produce salt to the present day.

The museum is an interpretive centre that offers information about the influence of Salt and its applications during human history as well as an explanation of the workings of the Salt Pans.

The Whale bones are of a creature that was washed up nearby.
