Our visit to the salt pans of Marsala and Trapani during winter 2024 was nothing but spectacular. We can only imagine how they looked during summer when the salt harvest is in full swing.

The nature reserve of the salt pans of Trapani and Marsala covers an area of about one thousand hectares and is one of the most important wetlands on the planet, offering shelter to numerous species of migratory birds. This landscape rich in history and tradition extends along the stretch of coast that goes from Trapani to Marsala and is linked to the ancient activity of the salt extraction, the white gold of Sicily.

Our visit took us down the Via del Sale, the road that leads from Trapani to Marsala and runs along the Stagnone lagoon. An ancient itinerary, whose landscape preserves the echo of the sea and the many men who, with their work, have kept intact one of the most important resources of the Sicilian economy.

We would love to come back when they are harvesting the salt, but even this view was stunning.
