Description: Cadiz, SPAIN - Las Salinas -Saltworks: Cádiz is a city and port in southwestern Spain. It is the capital of the Province of Cádiz, one of eight that make up the autonomous community of Andalusia. Cádiz, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe, with archaeological remains dating to the 8th century BC, was founded by the Phoenicians. It has been a principal home port of the Spanish Navy since the accession of the Spanish Bourbons in the 18th century. It is also the site of the University of Cádiz. “Cadiz was once the biggest and best producer of salt in the world,” says Gonzalo Muñoz, a lecturer at Cadiz University and technical coordinator of La Esperanza. “ Boats came from all over to buy salt from here.” La Esperanza is one of the five salterns that have survived in this area, along with Bartivás in Chiclana, San Vicente in San Fernando, El Águila in Puerto Real and the inland saltern of Iptuci in the Alcornocales Natural Park. In Bartivás, fourth-generation salt harvesters offer a degree of hope. Pilar Ruiz is one of the four siblings who run it, though all have other jobs to balance the books. In summer, they extract normal table salt and high quality salt such as fine hand-harvested sea salt and salt flakes, amounting to between 2,500 and 3,000 tons, which they will sell during the year.
