What you need to know
- Cool 17°C cave the whole year, so the mine tour is a genuine escape on a hot summer day; bring a light jacket
- Hard hats required for everyone including kids, and strollers are not allowed inside the mine
- Castle plus mine in a day, the two sights face each other across the valley and pair into one trip
About
Two sights sit across a valley about 90km northwest of the city. The Salt Mountain Cultural Park runs hour-long guided tours into a closed potash mine, descending to galleries 86 meters down where salt stalactites, folds, and red-streaked walls light up the tunnels. Opposite, Cardona Castle is a 9th-century hilltop fortress with the Romanesque church of Sant Vicenç inside.
