Traditional tools (shovels, wheelbarrows), ovens made of clay (mud mass sometimes mixed with straw), firewood for their operation and motor mills are part of the rustic system of salt processing . Process by which and despite which 25,000 tons of salt are extracted annually.
The first step of salt processing is drying, which initially involves the formation of small mounds so that the sun can do its part of the work. At the same time, the extensive areas with these mounds become another tourist attraction of the Salt Desert Route.
