- Description
- The Valley of Salinas de Añana is home to one of the oldest salt production sites in the world. The process of its disappearance after almost 7,000 years of the uninterrupted production was reversed in 2009 when the Añana Salt Valley Foundation was established and charged with managing, recovering, and enhancing the site. Among the key goals of the Foundation is to promote the local salt heritage and produce salt of the highest quality using traditional and sustainable techniques that respect the environment.
The Añana Salt Valley is an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
