Rock-cut salt pans are to be found in numerous parts of the coast of the Maltese Islands, but the biggest concentration of them are undoubtedly found in the Xwejni area of Gozo where an extensive network is to be found going on for about two kilometres almost all the way to Wied il-Ghasri. The photo shows the place where the salt-pans start in Xwejni Bay, directly opposite a local landmark called the Qolla l-Bajda: an eroding mound of clay sediment resting on top of a soft globigerina limestone base. Worth a visit at any time of the year, but late summer is best if you want to see the salt harvest itself.
