Inaugurations
At the end of September, Las Salinas de La Concepción were presented to various representatives of Menorcan society, as well as to authorities and media outlets on the island of Menorca.
In inaugural sessions held in Fornells on September 27 and 28, Las Salinas de La Concepción presented its comprehensive rehabilitation project, marking a milestone that allows Menorca to resume salt production from this summer, recovering a trade and tradition that had been lost.
During these events, a diverse group of representatives from Menorcan society linked to gastronomy, local products, culture, heritage and the environment were invited, as well as authorities and media.
The Best family, as concessionaires of Ses Salines Nuevas de Fornells, together with the team formed by the architect Dani Gutiérrez, the civil engineer Guillermo Casas and the salt master Haddou Ichekhlaf, welcomed the attendees and guided them through the land, showing the meticulous work carried out to recover the activity.
In addition, they detailed the artisanal harvesting process of fleur de sel and virgin sea salt, both products marketed under the brand Salinas de La Concepción, Sal de Menorca.
During the presentation, Laura Ruiz was announced as the new manager of the operation, and it was confirmed that from spring 2024, Las Salinas will be open to the general public with limited guided tours and prior reservation, complying with the conditions of preservation of the natural environment and the operation of the activity itself.
This exciting project is contributing to the cultural and natural rebirth of the island, and we are eager to share more details soon.
