The salt mines of Ibiza were already exploited by the Romans and were for many centuries the island's only export industry, the rest was reduced to subsistence farming. Nowadays, between 80 and 10,000 thousand tons of salt are collected depending on whether the year has been very rainy or not.

In the picture we can see the main salt mountain where most of the harvest is accumulated.

Las salinas de Ibiza ya eran explotadas por los romanos y fueron durante muchos siglos la única industria exportadora de la isla, lo demás se reducía a la agricultura de subsistencia. Actualmente se recogen entre 80 y 10.000 mil toneladas de sal dependiendo de si el año ha sido muy lluvioso o no.

En la imagen podemos ver la principal montaña de sal en la se acumula la mayor parte de la cosecha.

I see a pile of salt and I immediately guessed it (even without the title) to be a "flyover" over Ibiza :-).

Out of the question: if you're interested, the poll to choose the photo of the month for August is still active

Thanks a lot for your kind response @bucipuci

Where can I find the poll you have mentioned? I can't find it.

Everything related to the competition (including polls) can be found under #aroundtheworld.
However, voting for the August photos has been closed since yesterday evening.

What a pity... So sorry...

Nothing is happening. There are more important things than watching a poll :-)
