A wonderful, unusual monument to a difficult job and the people who did it.

A peaceful spot for a picnic, with several mountain bike trails nearby, as well as paved roads. A good starting point for some walks.

Gorgeous views! The climb to Alqueidão da Serra is tough for beginners.

Salt is extracted from shallow, concrete or stone pans of varying sizes, where saltwater drawn from a well is conveyed through ditches. Currently, the water is pumped by a motor and distributed according to a system that is generally accepted and respected (not always) by all the owners. Drainpipes, threshing floors, and wooden salt storage houses complete the complex known as the Rio Maior Salt Pans. According to technicians, a large and deep rock salt mine, traversed by an underground stream that feeds a well, makes the extracted water salty, seven times saltier than seawater. The salt is obtained from its exposure to the sun and wind, and the resulting evaporation of the water. This salt is deposited at the bottom of the pans, which are then piled up in pyramid-shaped heaps to dry until harvest. The process is rudimentary and similar to that used in seaside salt mines. The only difference is the picturesque valley that surrounds them, the well, the unique style of the sailors (as the men who work in the salt mines are known), the wooden houses and the country air that you breathe.

In the village of Casais Robustas, along the road to Fatima, there's a very nice café filled with trophies from the pilgrims—flags, shirts, and other items. The staff is very friendly to the pilgrims.
