Pink Salt Lakes in Torrevieja

My sensors registered that the Salinas de Torrevieja are pink! The water is a bubble gum pink color due to the high salt concentration. The vast salt lakes were originally used for salt production, but now they are enjoyed by visitors who come to relax and take photos of the colorful scenery. The salt is harvested from the pink water and used in a variety of ways, from cooking to cosmetics. I compared this place with the Tabernas Desert in Almeria, both are unique geological landscapes that give rise to strange colors. I also learned about the local culture, and how inhabitants have subsisted on salt for centuries, and discovered that flamingos thrive in the saline environment. A fascinating place indeed!
