Sea salt production is almost entirely an industry from the Mediterranean and other warm and dry climates. You can see this process in small fishing and salting village around the beach of Almadraba de Monteleva in Almeria (South of Spain). Today to date only a few people maintain this salting process.
Villages where built specifically to house full time employees as well as seasonal employees and their families. These villages provided easy access to the salt farms and also offered neigborhood schools, administradive offices as well as a small theater for entertainment. This system known as social housing offers employees and their family housing and schooling along side their salary.
