The Salinas de Calpe occupy a depression filled with quaternary alluvial deposits. The position of the Peñón de Ifach is a decisive factor for the formation of this interesting humid area. It is a lagoon of tombolic origin, generated from the development of a double shoal.

The Salinas de Calpe are part of an old bay closed by the formation of a transversal barrier to the waves. In the past, salt was a staple product, basic for food preservation. It is during Roman times when Calpe became an important center of salt production, reaching its maximum splendor in the s. II d. c.

But it is at the end of the s. XVIII, when they begin to deteriorate and be seen as a focus of infections that result in illness and fever in the population. This ended in his complete abandonment. And after some attempts in the 1980s to reactivate them using new production methods, in 1993 they were finally declared a maritime-terrestrial protected area.

From here you have a wonderful view of the salt lake.
This is one of several viewpoints. The others can be reached by leaving the boardwalk and then keeping left.
