The Janubio salt flats, in Lanzarote, are the largest in the Canary Islands and constitute a human landscape of high architectural and cultural value. Today they continue to produce the white gold that was essential in the island's economy until not many decades ago. They are located in a lagoon created by volcanic eruptions that created a lava barrier facing the sea and have been declared a Site of Scientific Interest due to the presence of migratory birds there.
This place tells us about the efforts of Lanzarote residents to transform the environment to obtain its fruits. Salt architecture is just that, an example of determination and roots in the land, where the craft has been passed down from father to son for generations. It is recommended to visit them at dusk, when the sun reflects on the ponds where the water evaporates and produces a play of nuances and colors of enormous beauty, irresistible to the lens of the camera.
