This museum has to be one of Portugal's unsung heroes. There is so much to do and see in Portugal but this museum is a must see. My husband and I were blown away by the beauty of the little church and the wonderful ceilings. We spent about an hour and a half here wondering around taking photos just taking in the beauty all around us.

After taking a canal tour that went near the salt beds we asked about seeing them up close and discovered that it was free to walk around them. You can walk all along the beds and there is information in Portuguese and English that explains how the salt is harvested ... a difficult job and still done manually. I thought it was very interesting and made a point to pick up some salt (very cheap! ) from the stores to take home.
