One of the main activities proposed as an engine of the revival of the valley is the production of high quality salt. Relying on the opinion of the best restaurateurs, which today are best qualified to appreciate the qualities of traditional salt, it can be achieved that the whole population values the gastronomical quality of our salt, placing it the market, in its rightful place.

As discussed, the restoration proposed by the Master Plan also incorporates other elements and activities to help the value enhancement strategy of Añana and at the same time, co-fund the restoration work in its factory salt.

First, using the acoustic conditions of the Salt Valley and its spectacular scenery, diverse shows will be developed that'll have the salinas as the amphitheater.

Taking into account the results of archaeological study, part of the valley will be restored using historical criteria. Thus, it will be possible to show the historical-construction evolution documented in the Salt Valley. Also these areas may produce different types of salt with similar characteristics to the product that was consumed in the Middle, Modern or Contemporary Ages.

A large number of threshing pits will be restored with a landscaping criteria. They will have a layer of boulders placed directly on the plank of wood so that it avoids the overhead of the woodwork and facilitates the watering with brine. This will reduce maintenance to a minimum and prolong its lifespan.

The interest that has appeared in the people the restoration of one of the most relevant heritage sites, forces us to see the restoration work as if it was a permanent exhibition. Thus, among the main objectives is to reconcile recovery work, study and production of salt in the restored areas with tourist visits. That way we get the specialists themselves spreading the acquired knowledge and people can understand and follow step by step the development of the intervention.

Another type of activity that has been very successful is the installation of a therapeutic walk, also known as 'pediluvio' (medicinal foot bath). Its construction was, in a way, a request of the locals and from which visitors can benefit. Our aim is that the salt workers no longer remember the negative aspects of the salinas and remember the therapeutic properties of controlled contact with salt water.
