Openings
At the end of September, Las Salinas de La Concepción were introduced to various representatives of Menorcan society, as well as to authorities and media from the island of Menorca.
In inaugural sessions held in Fornells on September 27 and 28, Las Salinas de La Concepción presented their comprehensive rehabilitation project, marking a milestone that allows Menorca to resume salt production starting this summer, reviving a craft 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, as well as authorities and media, were invited.
The Best family, as concessionaires of Ses Salines Nuevas de Fornells, along with the team formed by architect Dani Gutiérrez, civil engineer Guillermo Casas, and master salt maker Haddou Ichekhlaf, welcomed attendees and guided them through the site, showing the meticulous work carried out to restore the activity.
They also detailed the artisanal process of harvesting 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 starting in spring 2024, the Salinas will open to the general public with limited guided tours by prior reservation, complying with the conditions for preserving the natural environment and the operation itself.
This exciting project is contributing to the cultural and natural rebirth of the island, and we look forward to sharing more details soon.
