Program Description
Did you know that Catalonia is home to a mountain made almost entirely of salt? Cardona Salt Mountain is a remarkable geological formation dating back over 2 million years. During a guided tour, you'll venture into a former salt mine, where winding passages, natural salt formations and stories from the site's past await.
The mountain was formed through geological processes that pushed underground salt deposits towards the Earth's surface over millions of years. Its valuable resources were already known to the ancient Romans, and salt mining played an important role in the region's economy for centuries.
As you make your way through the mine's underground tunnels, you'll admire salt formations in a variety of shapes and colours. Your guide will explain how these natural structures developed and introduce you to the traditional methods once used to extract salt. It's a chance to experience a landscape shaped by both nature and human activity.
A visit to Cardona Salt Mountain combines geology, mining history and a journey into the heart of an extraordinary natural formation.
