Mirador Salinas de Janubio

The viewpoint overlooks a network of rectangular salt ponds stretching across 168 hectares of land against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean.

The salt production facility, established in 1895, provided essential resources for fish preservation industries throughout the Canary Islands until the mid-20th century.

Local salt harvesters maintain traditional extraction methods, collecting crystallized minerals from shallow pools using wooden rakes and wheelbarrows throughout the year.

The observation platform remains open 24 hours daily, offering clear views of salt production activities and opportunities for bird watching between sunrise and sunset.

During winter months, pink flamingos frequent the salt ponds, creating a natural contrast against the white salt crystals and black volcanic soil.
