Marsala Salt Pans Tour

At the designated time, we'll meet inside the windmill of the Ettore e Infersa to begin our tour. These salt pans, located within the Stagnon Nature Reserve, serve as a significant financial source for the city and region while also being a habitat for various migratory birds.

The tour will start at the windmill in Infersa, where you'll learn about sea salt production and collection through videos and details on how the windmill operates. This windmill is the only one still functional in the province of Trapani and dates back to the 16th century.

After the windmill, we will visit the salt pans, walking along the shore between the pools while sharing facts about manual salt collection. The salt from these pans boasts a Protected Geographical Indication due to its centuries-old extraction technique.

Depending on the time of day, you may witness changing colors of the pools at sunset or the illuminating rays of the sun throughout the day. This is an ideal moment for photography.

Following this 1-hour tour, we will conclude the activity and say our goodbyes.
