If you're a salt connoisseur then this is the place for you! You can observe all these shirtless hard working men shoveling heaps of salt in the heat of the Sicilian sun. There's a museum as well at a bargain price of entry in which you can learn all about the production of the sea salt. Video explaining the entire process is avaliable in multiple languages. You can take a guided tour all around the facility and stop by the restaurant for a delicious meal and a coffee. You can also buy a souvenirs in form of, you guessed it, bags of salt. Would recommend.

For whose is visiting the west part of Sicily, it is a must! With the guided tour you can enter into the salt world, learning how the salt is \cultivated\ and how tough it is to do it manually, like in the pre-industrialization era. The landscapes are breathtaking, alternating colorful red/pink and bright white. At the end of the tour you can taste the 2 varieties of salt produced as well as some other products (e.g. cioccolato di Modica with salt). The guide Giusy is knowledgeable and passionate, compliments to her! The price of 15 pp is fully justified. I strongly recommend this unique experience!
Disappointed! You cannot really see anything without paying ...
Interesting place to learn about how salt is extracted without the use of machines. They do use windmills but no other heavy equipment. They have a video that shows the whole process. Some salt samples are available to taste. A good 30 to 45 minutes stop.
Beautifull place for visit the ancient salt farms in Trapani. Tours are not very well organized. Best time for visiting is in the morning or late in the afternoon (sunset). There are parking managed by abusives. Great landscape!!
