Valle y salinas del Salado, Protected valley and salt flats in Guadalajara, Spain
The Valley and Salt Flats of Salado encompass 11,585 hectares of diverse landscapes where the Central System meets the Iberian System plateaus.
The salt extraction in the Salado Valley dates back to ancient times, utilizing underground waters rich in minerals that emerge through halophilic terrains.
Local communities in the Salado Valley maintain traditional salt extraction methods that integrate with the natural halophilic plant communities of the region.
Visitors can access the valley through multiple municipalities including Sigüenza, Riba de Santiuste, and Alcolea de las Peñas, with altitudes ranging from 884 to 1,162 meters.
The Riba de Santiuste rodeno represents the single Buntsandstein sandstone outcrop in Guadalajara province, covered entirely by holm and pyrenean oak forests.
