Salt

Salt is a small municipality in the Gironès, right next to the city of Girona. The river Ter crosses it from west to east and shapes most of the local landscape. Its main natural attraction is the Deveses de Salt, a protected riverside area of wetlands and riparian forest. Walkers may spot otters, Spanish pond turtles, ospreys and dragonflies there. A signposted route links Girona and Salt through the Deveses and the Hortes de Santa Eugènia. It follows the Ter and passes the Rec Monar park, named after the irrigation channel that connects with the river. In the old town, houses around the Plaça de la Vila were built with stones rounded by the Ter. The Torre Farga, or Sant Dionís, is a defensive tower from the 15th century, about fifteen metres high. The Museu de l'Aigua sits in the Coma Cros Cultural Factory, a former textile mill that explains much of the town's recent history. Salt suits walkers and travellers visiting Girona, whose centre is a short trip away.
