Fuerteventura Salt Museum is located in Las Salinas, in the municipality of La Antigua. It is made up of a cultural complex comprising the El Carmen Salt Flats, built around 1910, and a museum that provides an overview of the culture generated around salt. It is a meeting point between natural and cultural heritage, as it is here that the ethnographic tradition originating from the production and use of salt merges with a singular habitat, a living, nesting and feeding space for numerous micro organisms and migratory birds.    

A visit to this centre enables one to discover the different cultural aspects arising from the human activities dedicated to obtaining this product necessary for life, and the how the different animals that live in the sand flats obtain sustenance, either permanently or seasonally. It also provides the opportunity of contemplating the unique landscape of earth, water, sun and wind, sculptured jointly by nature and mankind in an area where the sea and land merge as one.

The salt flats form part of the footprint of our history and understanding them and preserving them is a sign of respect for our historical and cultural heritage.
The Salt Museum offers two complementary tours, one inside and another outside and the visit should begin with the inside tour, in the museum itself, which is structured as follows:

* Localisation, formation and history of salt; the saline ecosystems; cultural aspects of salt and its applications.
* Canary Island salt flats.
* El Carmen Salt Flats.
The outside tour consists of a visit to El Carmen Salt Flats to see the architectural aspects, the different structural elements, the salt production processes and the beautiful landscape.
