The Salina dei Monaci is a nature reserve located near Torre Colimena. It is a salt lagoon that hosts a rich biodiversity, especially of migratory birds such as pink flamingos. The salt pan owes its name to the Benedictine monks who managed it until 1404, and is separated from the sea by a sand dune and a channel dug into the rock. It is an ideal place for a day at the beach, bird watching and a nice walk.

Today we started the lovely walk through the dunes and had lunch in Torri Colimena, on the way back from the roundabout this route is absolutely no longer recommended, first along a road, then the land is plowed and then no good passable path can be found, we are over climbed stone walls and crossed a ditch over metal pipes to get back on the route and finally went straight through blackberry bushes and over a wall with difficulty and ended up back on the road, didn't try the last part anymore, seemed to be overgrown
