The Salinas de Rio Maior are the result of a whim of Nature. A salt mine from a saline spring, extensive and deep, crossed by an underground current, feeds a well from which water seven times saltier than that of the Atlantic Ocean is extracted. The oldest document that know dates back to 1177, but it is thought that the use of rock salt dates back to prehistoric times.
