Las Salinas - Salt Flats (Кальпе (Кальп))

 lake, wetland, lagoon, salt evaporation pond

Calpe's salt flats occupy a depression filled by quaternary alluvial deposits. The position of the rock is a decisive factor for the formation of this interesting humid area. It is in fact a lagoon, generated from the development of a double sandbar.
In the section of sandbar in the bay of Calpe the pools of the fish farm of the Baños de la Reina (Queen's Baths) have been excavated. There is hardly anything left of the primitive lagoon due to the salt exploitation which it has been exposed to since Roman times. www.calpe.es/turismo/web/paseos-excursiones/paseos-excu...
