A geometric patchwork of peach, tan, blue, and white saltpans sit beside a half moon lagoon, each a different color depending on the stage of production in salt making. Salinas de Janubio is one of the last salt flats on the island, since the invention of the refrigerator shifted the way to preserve your fish on Lanzarote.
Once upon a time, 10,000 tons of salt were produced a year here and the facility worked using wind power. Today electric pumps haul just 2,000 tons of salt per year. You can catch a view from the highway in multiple locations, or head down to Janubio Beach for a closer look – and some sunbathing.
