Salinas de Janubio

Salinas de Janubio are salt flats in Lanzarote of the Canary Islands.

[1] In 1730, lava from volcano eruptions formed the walls of a natural lagoon.

[3] The waters from the natural lagoon are evaporated to yield the salt.

[1][5] The salt has also been used to make dyes that local artists use, especially for decorations used in the annual Corpus Christi festival.

[1][5] A number of migratory birds visit the salt flats.
