Description
Poza de la Sal · Burgos Province · Spain
Una toma mas cercana de una parte del diapiro. Algunos me habeis preguntado sobre si ha habido explotacion de la sal de este yacimiento. Lo cierto es que desde antes de la epoca Romana comenzo la obtecion de sal. La produccion de la sal se realiza conduciendo el agua de los manantiales por una red de acueductos, hasta unas plataformas horizontales construidas en madera y piedra, (debido al desnivel del terreno), denominadas granjas y en las que el agua se reparte en parcelas rectangulares o eras. La evaporacion del agua deja lista la sal para su recoleccion en unos depositos protegidos de la lluvia o terrazos. Debido al escaso caudal de los manantiales tambien se utilizaba el bombeo de agua al interior de la tierra desde unas balsas o estanques, aumentando asi� la produccion de sal. Todo esto se llevaba a cabo en la ladera que desciende detras del diapiro.
A closer view of a part of the diapir.
Some of you have asked me about the salt mining in this deposit. The true is that it started before Roman times. The production of salt is made leading the water of the springs by a network of aqueducts to horizontal plattforms constructed in wood and stone denominated farms in wich the water is distributes. The evaporation of the water makes ready the salt for harvesting. Due to the little volume of the springs also the pumping of water to the interior of the earth was used, increasing in this way the production. The farms are in the slope located behind the diapir and descending towards the valley.
Many thanks for your visit and comments.
Have a great day !
