📍 Malta
Żebbuġ is situated in the Malta's southern region and is a traditional agricultural town. The salt pans in Żebbuġ are essential for the production of the renowned Maltese salt, which is considered some of the best in the world. The salt pans are made up of a series of shallow pools located on the low-lying salt flats around the Mediterranean sea in the region.
The water in the area is constantly in motion, turning marshes into shallow salt flats which are a beautiful sight and essential for the production of the precious salt. The area is vital for the local economy, with roasted, semi-dried and fresh salt all produced for the Maltese market. The area is great for bird watching with flamingos, ducks and herons all seen in the area. Exploring the salt flats can be an intriguing experience. There are a number of small paths that wind their way around the salt fields and offer access to some spectacular views of the region.
