Sea salt production is an ancient tradition that has existed for centuries in Gozo, and this tradition still continues, as on the coast of Gozo there is the largest production area for malt in Malta. Visitors come to see this area in the early hours of the morning when the small grains of salt shimmer with the reflection of the sun's rays on them. These wonderful salt pans are divided in very beautiful geometric patterns. If you head to the area early, you may be able to see the locals collecting the sludge.
