Lindas salinas.
Una lástima que no se puede caminar por arriba.

Mais um belo lugar a ser visitado em conjunto com o Moray. Primeiro porque nas Salinas, apesar de lindíssimas, não se gasta muito tempo para vê. A não ser o tempo de descida e as belas fotos que precisarão sempre ser tiradas, o lugar é de rápida visitação. Recomendo a compra de sal local, apesar do preço “salgado” tem algumas opções, como a do sal defumado, que não se encontra com facilidade em outros países.
