Hiking

These basins can be used to extract salt from seawater. At least a small part of such pools on Gozo are said to still be active.

Hiking

We go down.
At the foot of the cliffs, the rock now partly looks like terraced fields, we walk through it and go around again to the other side of St. Peter's Pool.
The evaporated water has left salt crystals on the sandstone.
We snack on it.

When you descend from the lighthouse to the old salt pans, you can still clearly see how Einstein obtained sea salt from various basins.
