This is by far the most surprising aspect of Torreviejan culture.

As the salt works form part of the culture of Torrevieja, so also our craft has
salt as its common factor. A salt boat is made on wood covered with white cloth
interlaced with white thread to form the sails.
When the period of "setting" comes in the salt works around the months of May
and June, the model is placed inside the salt for around three days and comes
out completely crystallised in salt.
