On the north coast of Gozo, just behind Qbajjar Bay, west of Marsalforn, the coast is characterized by a chessboard of salt mines hewn out of the rocks that jut out into the sea. These 350-year-old salt pans, which stretch for about 3 km along the coast, are more than just scenic. They are part of the centuries-old tradition of sea salt production on Gozo, which has been passed down in certain families for many generations. During the summer months you can still watch the locals scrape the salt crystals together. After collecting, the salt is processed and stored in the caves carved into the coastal rocks.
