Popis

Fuente Camacho

The origin of this settlement in Granada is due to the salt. In Fuente Camacho there is an important aquifer from which water with a high saline concentration emanates. The Salado River arises here and it was used to obtain the salt destined for consumption or conservation of food.
We are used to see the salinas near the sea but not in the countryside that is why is so astonishing to find them in Fuente Camacho. The origin of the salt here is due to the type of land, karstic. When the water comes to the surface it brings the salt with it.
This Salinas were already used by Romans and by Arabs too.
