Salt Pans at Qbajjar

Near Marsalforn, Gozo

Today trip to Comino island and a more than deserved swim in the blue lagoon's cristal clear water.

Back on the road to visit the east coast towards Marsalforn.
The salt pans all around here date from 1740 and are still in use, producing several tons of sea salt every year. The name of this village bears its value as a seaport- "Marsa" means `port` or `bay` while forn derived from lifurna, an Arabic word for `ship`.
