What travellers say about the experience

“It was really surprising to discover the different activities available in a salt pan and the richness of sites to see. As a poetic revelation of the natural force, I especially liked the moment of the tide reversal, where we saw water coming in the pond, staying quiet, and then going out.”
— Françoise Thurel
“The meals were exceptional! Great attention to locally produced and typical food of the region. Restaurant owners and chefs were delightful and paid us special attention in describing each dish, the ingredients and local culture.”
— Linda Botha
“We began our journey by staying at a small boutique hotel that combines its accommodation function with that of an art center. It couldn’t have been more welcoming, blending tradition with modernity. The entire trip was immersed in an abundance of local Gaditan culture, with locally sourced products in restaurants and very hospitable people who made the trip unforgettable.”
— Silvana Pol
